Abstract

Abstract In this essay, we outline the central thesis of our recent book: A Platonic Theory of Moral Education: Cultivating Virtue in Contemporary Democratic Classrooms. We argue that the ethical, epistemological, political, and metaphysical doctrines typically attributed to Plato are not doctrines Plato holds, or at least are not doctrines that he holds in the way he is interpreted to have done. We claim that if we understand Plato’s relationship to these supposed doctrines better, we would discover that Plato’s views are not wildly implausible or ill-suited for contemporary democracies and the schooling they provide for their children. Rather, they are plausible and well-suited to contemporary democratic education. This essay briefly outlines some of our reasons for holding this position.

柏拉图的遗产:活得好

在这篇文章中，我们概述了我们新书的中心论点:柏拉图式的道德教育理论:在当代民主课堂中培养美德。我们认为，柏拉图的伦理，认识论，政治和形而上学的教义，并不是柏拉图所持有的教义，或者至少不是他所持有的那种被解释为他所做过的教义。我们认为，如果我们更好地理解柏拉图与这些假想的学说之间的关系，我们就会发现柏拉图的观点并非完全不可信或不适合当代民主国家及其为子女提供的教育。相反，它们是可信的，非常适合当代民主教育。这篇文章简要概述了我们持有这一立场的一些原因。
