Bridging the gap between interpretations of "Third Way" Platonic
scholarship and "phenomenological-ontological" scholarship, this
book argues for a unique ontological-hermeneutic interpretation of
Plato and Plato's Socrates. Reconceptualizing Plato's Socrates at
the Limit of Education offers a re-reading of Plato and Plato's
Socrates in terms of interpreting the practice of education as care
for the soul through the conceptual lenses of phenomenology,
philosophical hermeneutics, and ontological inquiry. Magrini
contrasts his re-reading with the views of Plato and Plato's
Socrates that dominate contemporary education, which, for the most
part, emerge through the rigid and reductive categorization of
Plato as both a "realist" and "idealist" in philosophical
foundations texts (teacher education programs). This view also
presents what he terms the questionable "Socrates-as-teacher"
model, which grounds such contemporary educational movements as the
Paideia Project, which claims to incorporate, through a
"scripted-curriculum" with "Socratic lesson plans," the so-called
"Socratic Method" into the Common Core State Standards Curriculum
as a "technical" skill that can be taught and learned as part of
the students' "critical thinking" skills. After a careful reading
incorporating what might be termed a "Third Way" of reading Plato
and Plato's Socrates, following scholars from the Continental
tradition, Magrini concludes that a so-called "Socratic education"
would be nearly impossible to achieve and enact in the current
educational milieu of standardization or neo-Taylorism (Social
Efficiency). However, despite this, he argues in the affirmative
that there is much educators can and must learn from this
"non-doctrinal" re-reading and re-characterization of Plato and
Plato's Socrates.
