Vassilopoulou discusses Plotinus' educational practice as it may be reconstructed from his biography and texts. She concentrates on Plotinus' views on the role of women manifested in his revision of traditional metaphors that accentuate women's dependent status, the overall significance of the employment of metaphors within a philosophical context, and the ensuing conception of dialectic and rationality. Her analysis indicates that Plotinus' practice of teaching and learning philosophy reflects contemporary feminist values. Her claim is that a reading of Plotinus from a feminist perspective has much to contribute to contemporary debates raised in the context of feminist pedagogy and theory.
