Plato’s Socrates, Philosophy and Education: SpringerBriefs in Education

Autor James M. Magrini
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 dec 2017
This book develops for the readers Plato’s Socrates’ non-formalized “philosophical practice” of learning-through-questioning in the company of others. In doing so, the writer confronts Plato’s Socrates, in the words of John Dewey, as the “dramatic, restless, cooperatively inquiring philosopher" of the dialogues, whose view of education and learning is unique: (1) It is focused on actively pursuing a form of philosophical understanding irreducible to truth of a propositional nature, which defies “transfer” from practitioner to pupil; (2) It embraces the perennial “on-the-wayness” of education and learning in that to interrogate the virtues, or the “good life,” through the practice of the dialectic, is to continually renew the quest for a deeper understanding of things by returning to, reevaluating and modifying the questions originally posed regarding the “good life.” Indeed Socratic philosophy is a life of questioning those aspects of existence that are most question-worthy; and (3) Itaccepts that learning is a process guided and structured by dialectic inquiry, and is already immanent within and possible only because of the unfolding of the process itself, i.e., learning is not a goal that somehow stands outside the dialectic as its end product, which indicates erroneously that the method or practice is disposable. For learning occurs only through continued, sustained communal dialogue.

Recenzii

“I think there is much to commend. Magrini demonstrates a deep knowledge of Platonic dialogues and his ultimate critique of schools and colleges is important. … Anyone in philosophy of education interested in re-thinking Plato, Socrates, and teaching Plato’s dialogues should know this book.” (Teacher’s College Record, September 17, 2019)
