Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the theories and practices of education in Ancient Greece, emphasizing the differences and similarities between the two educational powerhouses of the time: Athens and Sparta. The book positions the educational system in these city-states within the broader context of the Greek world and the historical and literary advances of the time. It delves into the origins of the Greek view on education, pulling from insights found in the works of major thinkers of the era such as Xenophon and Plato. The author then explores the vast differences in educational philosophies between Sparta and Athens. Sparta, a militaristic society, focused on a rigorous, state-controlled system designed to produce strong, obedient soldiers. Athens, on the other hand, placed an emphasis on developing versatile, well-rounded citizens who were trained in the arts, literature, and philosophy. The author further investigates the commonalities in the aims of Athenian and Spartan education, despite their differing methods. Both city-states sought to mold their young citizens into the ideal members of their respective societies, instilling in them the values and beliefs that were central to their cultures. Throughout the book, the author offers valuable insights into the development of educational thought and practice in Ancient Greece. This book will undoubtedly be of great interest to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the foundations of Western education and the ways in which they have shaped the educational landscape to this day.
