Reading Aristotle's Education for the 21st Century
The possible solutions for various social, economic, psychological and political problems of the century are hidden within the magical concept of education. Most people regard education as a key concept to be questioned in order to better our lives. The educational systems in different countries are shaped by the governments, a fact which directs us to the relation between education and politics. Additionally, the link that Aristotle establishes between education and politics focuses our attention on ethics. In order to examine how politics, education and ethics were dependent on each other in antiquity, the present study aims to explore Aristotle's view of education and how he connects education to politics and ethics. Initially in this study, Aristotle's classification of sciences into three categories according to their aims, methods and objects is explored. Then, under which classification politics and education fall and why they are related are discussed. Later, how Aristotle's view of education is tied to the concepts of good and happiness is examined. It is claimed that exploration of Aristotle's view of politics relating to education and ethics will shed light to many institutional flaws in today's educational systems.
European Journal of Education Studies ARISTOTLE'S EDUCATIONAL IDEAS
Aristotle (384-322 BC) was a great thinker, an encyclopedic brain of ancient Greek science and philosophy. Perhaps few people know him as an educator who brought out extremely deep opinions about subjects, program contents, role of education, etc. nearly 2500 years ago. In all his researching life, he has many scientific works that are meticulous and scientifically valuable aimed at bringing the best things for humans. In the book Politics -although educational ideas are not the main contents of the book, they are presented quite closely by Aristotlepositive factors are included and have been very important up to now.

In Classical antiquity, education had been formed in proportion with the social and political system of each city-state, as Aristotle briefly formulates in his work Politics (1310). Social education is the core of its political and pedagogical philosophy, aiming at shaping the worthy citizen and underlying a clear distinction between the individual (=idiotis) and the citizen (=politis), since "the whole must necessarily precede the party" (Politica 1253a19-24). His pedagogical approach focuses on an all-round psychosomatic balance and development. The system of his pedagogical philosophy is based on Ethics (Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics). The pedagogical approach presupposes experience and teaching, since virtue has two natures: the intellectual and the moral one, through which wisdom and intellect can only be achieved. The philosopher laid the principles of formal logic as the basis of the scientific research, however, Rhetoric and Poetry keep an important position, the reason being human mankind is “mimetic”. The present article starts with Aristotle’s work as a student at Plato Academy and ends with his pedagogical work on the exemplary teacher-student relationship Aristotle - Alexander. The pedagogical philosophy of Aristotle is proven as primarily practical.
Education and Politics from Aristotle's Perspective
The present study investigates Aristotle's view on education in relation with his view on politics. Two of Aristotle's works, Nicomachean Ethics and Politics are analyzed for this study. The discussion starts with what science is and how it can be classified according to Aristotle. In the second part where education and politics are in this classification of sciences, what their aims are and how they are connected are discussed. The discussion ends with a third section in which Aristotle's ideas about the concepts of " good for men " and " happiness " are explored.

The aim of this article is to examine the educational theories and practices of ancient Greece, to investigate a few of the explicit links that the modern Greek state has made to these and to discuss some of the more implicit parallels that can be discerned in the present Greek educational system. To some extent, it will be an investigation of the contemporary traces that remain from the ancient civilisation. Furthermore, it will be examined how the Modern Greek state achieves political ends through its attempts to embody in the citizen the reconstructed values of a glorious past, while characteristics of ancient Greek educational systems, still existing in the Modern Greek educational system, will be discussed.

This article examines the controversy over Ancient Greek [AG] as a school subject, a controversy that re-emerged in 2016, when SYRIZA was in power. The issue is ideologically charged: classical antiquity has played a fundamental role in shaping modern Greek ethnic identity. The arguments for and against teaching AG as a school subject are analysed and explained in relation to the ideological preferences, strategies and interests of the involved agents. The polarization of the arguments is interpreted within the broader context of the financial crisis, as an attempt by the agents involved to reinforce the left/right divide, which was significantly blurred after the adoption of austerity policies by both the self-proclaimed leftist SYRIZA and the conservative New Democracy parties.
