  • PHILOSOPHY & HUMAN SCIENCE Plato's Paideia
    PHILOSOPHY & HUMAN SCIENCE Plato’s Paideia: A Model of Formative Education Thomas Marwa Monchena, ALCP/OSS Department of Philosophy Jordan University College Introduction This essay is a follow-up to a 2015 philosophy conference constituted largely by lecturers and doctoral students of philosophy from various universities in Rome. The faculty of philosophy of the Lateran Pontifical University organized the conference and entitled it, La filosofia come formazione dell’uomo (lit., Philosophy as a Formation of the Man ). I myself was present as a participant. In the course of this essay, I intend to offer a brief elaboration of some important elements of Plato’s theory of education which came up during the conference. Plato’s views on education appear in many of his dialogues; but in this paper, I limit myself to the educational system which Plato designed for the city as discussed in the Republic , with an emphasis on the formative and integral nature of the educational system found there. It is to be kept in mind that Plato’s system of education makes a commitment to the formation of the whole human being, in all aspects: intellectual, spiritual, social and physical. In the Republic , Plato illustrates his conviction that the nature of the good human life, i.e., true happiness, cannot be determined independently of the place that human beings occupy within society, and that the nature of a just society depends on the education of its citizens. Therefore, he sets forth paideia as an educational system that will educate, form, and train individuals 12 Africa Tomorrow 20/1-2 (June/December 2018) who can serve as a virtuous ruling class.

  • American Paideia: Public and Private Leadership and the Cultivation of Civic Virtue
    [Expositions 8.2 (2014) 131–154] Expositions (online) ISSN: 1747–5376 American Paideia: Public and Private Leadership and the Cultivation of Civic Virtue JORDAN BARKALOW Bridgewater State University Critics of statesmanship in democracy make three arguments. First, scholars claim that the idea of democratic statesmanship is, itself, is a contradiction.1 Reasoning that there is an inherent tension between popular rule grounded on equality and liberty and the political requirement of decisive action, these scholars hold that elected political officials should simply execute the will of the people. Benjamin Barber makes the most dramatic argument on this front claiming that statesmanship undermines democratic politics.2 He contends that in an age such as ours, it is possible, safer, more fulfilling, and more just to allow citizens to exercise political judgment. Thus, any need democracy may have had for a statesman has run its course. Building on this argument, second, democratic theorists contend that statesmanship actually destabilizes democracies as statesmen become a source of factional conflict.3 The concern here is not just that statesmanship undermines the goal of political stability, but that statesmanship will degenerate into tyranny. Consequently, statesmanship is not a feature of democracy, but an alternative to democracy. Instead of relying on statesmen, all that is needed is effective citizenship which can be achieved by freeing citizens from the restrictions imposed by statesmen. Finally, scholars argue that statesmanship is

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 407 657 CS 012 815 AUTHOR Ediger, Marlow TITLE The Paideia Reading Curriculum. (Developing a Love for Reading.) PUB DATE 97 NOTE 10p. PUB TYPE Opinion Papers (120) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Classics (Literature); Discussion (Teaching Technique); Elementary Education; *Literature Appreciation; *Reading Instruction; *Reading Programs; *Teacher Role IDENTIFIERS Great Books Curriculum; *Paideia ABSTRACT A major objective of the Paideia reading program is to develop within pupils a love for reading. Individual differences in reading achievement are provided for by having the teacher read the selection orally together with pupils so all have similar background experiences for discussion. If pupils can read the content by themselves and understand what has been read, they should be encouraged to do so. The literature read contains vital issues in classical content; content which has stood the test of time and arouses the interests of pupils. The Socratic method of teaching helps pupils to retain interest in the reading curriculum. With adequate background information, all pupils basically can read the selection individually, after it has been discussed. Teacher recommendations for a quality Paideia reading curriculum include: have students read simplified versions of the classics; diagnose what pupils do not understand from having read classical content; have high expectations for pupils in reading classical content; join a Great Books Club; and set personal goals for growth in the Paideia reading program.

  • Ancient Pedophilia
    Ancient Pedophilia A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for graduation with distinction in Classics in the undergraduate colleges of the Ohio State University By James Gentry The Ohio State University May, 2009 Project Advisor: Dr. Richard Fletcher, Department of Greek and Latin 1 Abstract Despite the significance of ancient sexuality in modern debates, from the work of Michel Foucualt to Romer v. Evans, there has been little discussion of the use of ancient sources by certain modern groups, like the North American Man/boy Love Association (NAMBLA), to legitimize pedophilic practices as a form of modern pederasty. Although other movements have used these materials for legitimization, I argue that groups such as NAMBLA do so incorrectly both in regard to the ancient sources they claim to be reborn and in the context of modern society in which there are serious ramifications for their actions with, and their desire for, children. This argument is based around the definitions of both pederasty and pedophilia, the discourse of pederasty in antiquity, the impossibility of its existence in the modern world and the discussion of pedophilia in the modern world with its existence in antiquity. The conditioning factors which increase the prevalence of pederasty and/or pedophilia are also discussed in the context of ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and modern society; these factors include: the subjugation or rise in power of women, the process of citizenship, and the education of children in antiquity. In writing this paper I hope to disprove hereafter any claims by modern pedophiles that they are the pederasts of ancient Greece reborn.

  • The Differing Journeys Through Childhood in Ancient Athens and Sparta
    Growing up Greek: The differing journeys through childhood in ancient Athens and Sparta Elizabeth Ann Robertson Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Samantha Masters March 2018 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work therein is my own, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: March 2018 Elizabeth Ann Robertson Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Athens and Sparta were the two most prominent city-states during the 6th and 5th centuries BCE, but their socio-political systems differed markedly. As a result of such radical differences it could be hypothesised that the childhoods and, in particular, the education and socialisation of children, would also differ. The aims of this thesis are: 1. to examine the extent and nature of the differences between the childhood experiences of each group of children from the two city-states, Athens and Sparta, in particular the type of education and socialisation system to which each was exposed; and 2. to discern to what extent and in what way the socio-political system of their respective state had an impact on their upbringing and their journey to adult citizen status.
