This book makes a significant contribution to the philosophical exploration of education. Education is widely acknowledged as a philosophical tool, alongside politics (politeia). Both education (paideia) and politics hold equal significance in constructing a harmonious and content society, free from feud and unhappiness. The foundation of discursive thinking in education is rooted in Plato's dialogues and the findings of epistemological, metaphysical, and ethical research in the domains of cosmology, sociology, and neuroscience. The author showcases the immense potential of the threefold scheme of philosophy, known as the Platone philosophandi ratio triplex, for organizing individual and collective discourse and way of life in strict accordance with the intricate complexity of the ever-expanding cosmos. This book is a must-read for students and scholars who are intrigued by the interplay between education and philosophy.
