"Plato: His Precursors, His Educational Philosophy, and His Legacy" (Robin Barrow)
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Rationalism, Mysticism and the Arts in a Moral ContextGiven that Robin Barrow is arguably one of the most influential philosophers of education in our time, it should not be surprising that he has written a definitive book on Plato's educational philosophy and its relation to rationalism, mysticism, and the arts in a moral context.I shall first deal with the biographical section of this book.In the biographical section of the book, Barrow provides a useful framework for Plato's development in terms of five factors: friendship with Socrates,; his reactions to the sophists, his personal relations with some of the leading figures of his time, the city state of Sparta, and, of course, those thinkers who preceded him, the Presocratics" (Barrow, 2007, p. 1).Barrow's interest in Plato's friendship with Socrates lies in what he refers to as the unimportance of the debate about the overlap between Socrates' and Plato's conceptualization of the Theory of Forms or Ideas arguing that: "Given that there is clearly development of the theory in Plato's own writings, given the complexity of the theory, and given that the evidence all comes from Plato's treatment of the subject, trying to abstract the precise nature of Socrates' original view seems a far from urgent task" (p.3).Barrow also insists correctly that it is a myth to assume that there was a sophistic 'movement' as such in Plato's reaction to the sophists.As he points out, the sophists were far too different from one another in most intellectual, personal, teaching, and moral matters to constitute any semblance of homogeneity.There is no such thing as a proper 'movement' in this regard, except for the interesting fact that most of the sophists could be compared with our contemporary and contentious notions of self-help books and practical approaches to living as 'skill acquisitions' that purportedly lead to worldly success.For Plato, this mechanistic skill development vis-à-vis worldly success constituted a fraudulent approach, a heresy of distorting the truth, and an affront to education because it evaded the very ideal of the contemplative life of the good and was a detestable "manipulation of the truth and the subordination of knowledge to opinion, reality to appearance" (p.31).Plato's relationship with his politically active relatives begs the question of his actual position on democracy.Politically speaking, Barrow points out that although academics may argue endlessly over Plato's position on democracy, the fact remains that he coupled the contemplative life of the good with that of some sense of a practical advance but with a focus on theory rather than on practice.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
