Jaeger is perhaps best known for his multivolume work “Paideia: The Ideals of Greek Culture”, an extensive consideration of both the earliest practices and later philosophical reflections on the cultural nature of education in Ancient Greece, which he hoped would restore a decadent early 20th century Europe to the values of its Hellenic origins. Jaeger coined the term Paideia, a shorthand for Greek education and culture, which is now used like Polis, Hellenism or Renaissance ranging in its use from the journal Paideia to the Paideia Proposal.
