  • SPELUNKING with SOCRATES: a STUDY of SOCRATIC PEDAGOGY in Plato's REPUBLIC
    SPELUNKING WITH SOCRATES: A STUDY OF SOCRATIC PEDAGOGY IN PLATo'S REPUBLIC Victor Isaac Boutros Baylor University I. Introduction Though Plato never wrote a dialogue that explicitly asks "Whatis education?" few argue that he is uninterested inthe subject; after all, Plato, like Socrates, was a teacher.l In his magnum opus, theRepublic, Plato deals witheducationrepeat­ edly. The education of the guardian class and the allegory of the cave present two landmark pedagogical passages. Yet to catch a glimpse of Socratic pedagogy, we must first sift through the intricacies of dialogue. In addition to the com­ plexity inherent in dramatic context, it seems clear that Socrates' remarks are often steeped inirony.2 Thus, westumble upon a problem: how should we read these passages on education? Does Plato meanfor us to read them genuinelyor ironically? I will argue that Plato uses the dramatic context of the Republic to suggest thatSocrates presents the education of the guardians ironically, while reserving the allegory of the cave for a glimpse of Socrates' genuine pedagogy. The first portion of this paper will analyze various dramatic elements that indicate Socrates' ironic intent with respect to the education of the guardians. The second portion will focus on the alle­ gory of the cave as Socrates' genuine conception of ideal paideia (or education). II. Dramatic Context and the Introduction of Irony A. Conventional Irony Unfortunately, we cannot look at Plato's treatise on edu­ cation to learn about his educational theory because he does not write analytical treatises. Instead, Plato employs written dialogues to inspire philosophical insight in his students.

The first site was a Neolithic chambered cairn in Crarae Gardens. This cairn was excavated in the 1950s when it was discovered to contain inhumations and cremation burials. The chamber is divided into three sections by two septal slabs with the largest section at the rear. The next site was Arichonan township which overlooks Caol Scotnish, an inlet of Loch Sween, and which was cleared in 1848 though there were still some households listed in the 1851 census.
