Chapter I: \" Promethean Fire: the Archetype\" - from its first coinage in ancient Greece, in Prometheus Bound, philanthropia meant \"the love of humanity\", or of what it is to be human, an educational and cultural ideal; Chapter II: \" Philanthropy's Finest Hour: the American Revolution\" - the Revolution as philanthropy in action-how Classical philanthropy through voluntary associations produced a \"purportedly philanthropic nation\", created by and for philanthropy; Chapter III: \" Philanthropy Yesterday and Today\" - how 20th-century growth and professionalization made philanthropy paradigmatic, but neglected Classical values, and how we are now in a paradigm-shift, in which philanthropy is being thoroughly transformed; Chapter IV: \" The Future of Philanthropy\" - how the paradigm-shift analysis illuminates issues facing Old Paradigm institutions, and current trends suggesting a probable future; Chapter V: \" Philanthropy Reborn\"- how a possible New Paradigm, uniting Classical ideals with Internet-based operations, might benefit donors, grantmakers, philanthropic advisors, trustees, executive directors, scholars, media journalists, teachers and students, as well as civic, religious and political leaders. Appendix I: \"Case Study: the Catalogue for Philanthropy in Massachusetts.\" Exemplifies the current paradigm-shift. Appendix II: \"A Taxonomic Tree of Philanthropy\" A donor-friendly presentation of how the fields of philanthropy constitute a coherent whole.
