Reviews
“With Plato’s Socrates: Philosophy and Education, James M. Magrini has succeeded in writing a book that reflects his in-depth knowledge of Plato’s philosophy and how Plato’s Socrates is important for thinking through the present day educational situation. By adopting a non-doctrinal perspective in his reinterpretation of Plato, Magrini’s book speaks to students and educators who are looking for new ways to engagewith the Socratic method of learning-through-questioning. Magrini is thorough, succinct, and scholarly in his analyses, and he provides a critical and refreshing view on modern education. This is an excellent book.” (Elias Schwieler, Associate Professor of Education, Stockholm University, Sweden)
