Bringing together the history of educational philosophy, political
philosophy, and rhetoric, this book examines the influence of the
philosopher Isocrates on educational thought and the history of
education. Unifying philosophical and historical arguments, Muir
discusses the role of Isocrates in raising two central questions:
What is the value of education? By what methods ought the value of
education to be determined? Tracing the historical influence of
Isocrates' ideas of the nature and value of education from
Antiquity to the modern era, Muir questions normative assumptions
about the foundations of education and considers the future status
of education as an academic discipline.
