- W559616 abstract "Lest somebody wonder why, in this day of educational sophistica tion, anyone but a pedant should be interested in talking about Pla tonic pedagogy, which is 2300 years old, a few introductory re marks are in order. The purpose of this paper is three-fold. As the title indicates, it promises to deal with the subject of with what I take to be the Socratic notion of education, and, most impor tant, with the relationship between the two. I believe that these is sues are of importance today for anyone who is involved in educa tion. While many people may think that studying the Platonic dialogues is pass?, creativity, on the other hand, has become a much-discussed topic in educational circles. No doubt, this interest is due in part to the current research and publications on right brain-left brain development. With this research comes the accu sation that traditional education has focused too much on left-brain or rational as opposed to or creative and intuitive development. Some hold (indeed many of my own students hold) that the culprit who originated this unfortunate overemphasis on rational development was none other than Plato himself. They point out that the model of education which Plato prescribed in his ideal state, the Republic, clearly emphasizes rational while hardly a word is said of creativity. Further evidence to sup port such an attack on Plato is found in the myriad of occasions in the dialogues where he (or Socrates) criticizes and censors those areas of human knowledge which have traditionally been associated with creativity?literature, music, painting, and drama?while vo ciferously extolling the virtues of math and philosophy. This viewpoint amounts to accusing the Western philosophic tra dition, beginning with Plato as its leader, of systematically devalu ing creativity or right-brain development, while overemphasiz ing the importance of logic, math, and science, and thus hindering the total development of the human mind. While we who are associ ated with philosophy might feel flattered to think that our efforts over the years have had at least some effect on the mental develop" @default.
