| Abstract | The central argument of this paper is that the contemporary teacher's task is to bring students into the most fertile intellectual and moral companionship that can be provided. To begin this process, Plato's "Apology" should be introduced to students as early as junior high school. To illustrate this procedure, the educational background of a young woman, Lee, a sophomore in high school is described. Aware of the limitations of a public school education, Lee's parents taught their daughter at home subjects unavailable to her in this system. When she entered high school, her home study included logic and philosophy, and she began to read Plato's "Apology,""Crito," and "Phaedo." Lee's introduction to Socrates, the teacher, taught her a richer appreciation of moral life and gave her a refined view of integrity and virtue. She also learned to use evidence and relevant facts in applying principles of decency wisely and knowledgeably. (DJC) |
