Discussing Plato’s views on knowledge, recollection, dialogue,
and epiphany, this ambitious volume offers a systematic analysis of
the ways that Platonic approaches to education can help students
navigate today’s increasingly complex moral environment. Though
interest in Platonic education may have waned due to a perceived
view of Platonic scholarship as wholly impractical, this volume
addresses common misunderstandings of Plato’s work and highlights
the contemporary relevance of Plato’s ideas to contemporary moral
education. Building on philosophical interpretations, the book
argues persuasively that educators might employ Platonic themes and
dialogue in the classroom. Split into two parts, the book looks
first to contextualise Plato’s theory of moral education within
political, ethical, and educational frameworks. Equipped with this
knowledge, part two then offers contemporary educators the
strategies needed for implementing Plato’s educational theory
within the pluralistic, democratic classroom setting. A Platonic
Theory of Moral Education will be of interest to academics,
researchers, and post-graduate students in the fields of: ethics;
Plato scholarship; moral psychology; educational foundations; and
the philosophy of education. This book would also benefit graduate
students and scholars in teacher education. Mark E. Jonas is
Professor of Education and Professor of Philosophy (by courtesy) at
Wheaton College, US. Yoshiaki Nakazawa is Assistant Professor of
Education at University of Dallas, US.
