Episode Synopsis

After the disastrous distortions introduced in late Antiquity, it took centuries to put into practice the views that Aristotle (384-322 BC) had developed on education. John Vespasian explains that Aristotelian educational ideas emanate from the Aristotelian ethics. If happiness is the goal, and virtue shows the path, then the purpose of education is to teach virtue. Each student should learn ethics and acquire good habits (virtues) that will lead him to happiness.
