Peters, R. S. – Didaskalos, 1975
This essay provides an exposition of Plato's educational proposals, based on his belief in the supremacy of reason and a need for order, symmatry and discipline. The article disagrees with the Platonic view of a rigid and absolute moral certainty and his argument for the supreme value of theoretical pursuits. (CHK)

Barrow, Robin – Didaskalos, 1975

The Classics may be used to teach philosophy; Plato's works, especially the "Euthyphro," are used to support the argument. (CHK)
