Thomas Davidson's study of Aristotle and Greek education is more than a survey of ideas: it traces how schooling grew out of the whole life of ancient Greece. From Homeric training for warriors and citizens to the later rise of letters, rhetoric, philosophy, and civic instruction, the book shows education as a mirror of social and political change. At its center is the Greek ideal of proportion and harmony—the balanced shaping of body, mind, society, and spirit—expressed in kalokagathia, the union of beauty and goodness, and in the pursuit of genuine worth. Davidson also examines the limits of this ideal, especially its elitism, its exclusion of slaves, laborers, foreigners, and most women, and its tendency to subordinate the individual to the state. The work then turns to Plato as a response to Athens' moral crisis, and to the emergence of faith-based fellowship beyond national life, as seen in Isaiah's circle and the early shape of the Church. Throughout, it presents education as the formation of a free, noble, and fully human character. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
