Description

Explore the deep connections between classical philosophy and ethical theory in Plato, Utilitarianism and Education. Part of the International Library of the Philosophy of Education Volume 3, this work by Routledge examines three central arguments. It explores how Plato's views in the Republic suggest a utilitarian perspective and argues that utilitarianism stands as the only acceptable ethical theory. This book provides a detailed look at how these philosophical conclusions impact the field of education. By linking the exposition of utilitarianism directly to the interpretation of the Republic, the author offers a unique perspective for students and scholars. Readers will find a critical summary of the Republic and an assessment of recent Platonic criticism. This text is an essential resource for those studying the history of philosophy and its practical applications in educational theory.
