Platonic character education
In A Platonic Theory of Moral Education, Mark Jonas and Yoshiaki Nakazawa have argued that Plato outlines a theory of virtue education. Alkis Kotsonis has similarly argued that Plato articulated a theory of intellectual character education. I think that Jonas, Nakazawa, and Kotsonis have opened a productive line of enquiry on this matter, and I expand on their work in this paper by identifying connections between Plato’s work and the contemporary…
Four Questions About Future Research on Protreptic and Education
Plato, the Poets, and the Philosophical Turn in the Relationship Between Teaching, Learning, and Suffering
Plato
Sparta, Athens, and the Surprising Roots of Common Schooling
Damon, Prodicus, and Socratic Matchmaking
Dewey’s Ancestry, Dewey’s Legacy, and The Aims of Education in Democracy and Education
In Democracy and Education, in the midst of the pivotal chapter on “The Democratic Conception in Education,” Dewey juxtaposes his educational aims with those of Plato, Rousseau, Fichte and Hegel. Perhaps Dewey believed that an account of their views would help elucidate his own, or he intended to suggest that his own ideas rivaled or bested theirs. I argue that Dewey’s discussion of historical philosophers’ aims of education was also designed to …
Why did Socrates Deny that he was a Teacher? Locating Socrates among the new educators and the traditional education in Plato’s Apology of Socrates
Plato’s Apology of Socrates contains a spirited account of Socrates’ relationship with the city of Athens and its citizens. As Socrates stands on trial for corrupting the youth, surprisingly, he does not defend the substance and the methods of his teaching. Instead, he simply denies that he is a teacher. Many scholars have contended that, in having Socrates deny he is a teacher, Plato is primarily interested in distinguishing him from the sophist…

Chalepa Ta Kala,” “Fine Things are Difficult”
Has Therapy Intruded into Education
For over fifty years, scholars have argued that a therapeutic ethos has begun to change how people think about themselves and others. There is also a growing concern that the therapeutic ethos has influenced educational theory and practice, perhaps to their detriment. This review article discusses three books, The Dangerous Rise of Therapeutic Education (by Kathryn Ecclestone and Dennis Hayes), Aristotle, Emotions, and Education (by Kristján Kris…
Understanding Evil and Educating Heroes
Why do people do horrific things to one another? This article reviews two recent books that attempt to answer that question, Philip Zimbardo’s The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil and Barbara Coloroso’s Extraordinary Evil: A Brief History of Genocide. The author discusses the educational implications of these works and raises preliminary considerations for an education for heroism
