Three lines of argument are central to this book: that Plato's
views as expounded in the Republic indicate that he was a
utilitarian; that utilitarianism is the only acceptable ethical
theory; that these conclusions have significant repercussions for
education. Throughout the book the exposition of utilitarianism and
the interpretation of the Republic are closely linked. The author
assesses the nature of recent Platonic criticism and provides a
critical summary of the Republic. He expounds and defends
utilitarianismn and examines in greater depth the consequences for
education of accepting a utilitarian position, showing how, for
example, from this standpoint such key terms in educational debate
as 'autonomy' and 'self-development' must be reassessed as
educational objectives.
