Condition: Gut. IX, 211 S. / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Plato, utilitarianism and education -- Three lines of argument are central to this book: that Platos views as expounded in the Republic indicate that he was a utilitarian; that utilitarianism is the only acceptable ethical theory; that these conclusions have significant repercussions for education. Throughout the book the exposition of utilitarianism and the interpretation of the Republic are closely linked, and Dr Barrow is particularly concerned to defend Plato against the criticisms of K. R. Popper, Bertrand Russell and R. H. S. Crossman - the liberal-democrats, as he calls them. -- In two introductory chapters, Dr Barrow assesses the nature of recent Platonic criticism and provides a critical summary of the Republic. He goes on to expound and defend utilitarianism, taking due note of traditional objections to this position in his discussion of the concepts of happiness, freedom and equality. He then examines in greater depth the consequences for education of accepting a utilitarian position, showing how, for example, from this new standpoint such key terms in the current educational debate as autonomy and self-development must be reassessed as educational objectives.
