教学理念 & 学习

十大赌博正规平台在线 Philosophers find guiding principles for the method of teaching philosophy, learning, and for understanding the relationship between teacher and student expressed 由柏拉图(公元前427-347年)创作 更少. 对于对话的主要问题，美德是可以教的吗?柏拉图的苏格拉底 给出了一个微妙的答案: “是又不是”.’ A careful examination of intellectual virtue (and all the virtues, for that matter), shows that virtue is complex, that in one sense it is teachable, but in another equally 重要的意义是不能教的. 在某种程度上，美德是一种 知识 that can be possessed and expressed by a teacher, it is teachable: its meaning can 由懂的人转达给学生. 然而，在某种程度上，这种美德 是一个 实践 that must be actively and freely chosen from within, and to the extent that intellectual virtue requires that the individual seek to ‘see’ with the minds eye, as it were, 这是不可教的. 当然，正如亚西比德的形象告诉我们的 另一个柏拉图式对话的结尾 研讨会—knowing that the intellectual 生活 is 良好的 and the best 生活, and even wanting it as such, is not the same as, nor is it sufficient for, choosing to live such a 生活. To choose to 实践 and to live the intellectual 生活 is not merely to be passively formed by a teacher, it is to actively form one’s self in the truth and 良好的.

The Professor has acquired the highest 水平 of historical, textual, and systematic training, so that the just end and responsibility of the office can be obtained: to disclose the order of reason and the truth in terms of the philosophical material 被研究并从现实本身出发，驳斥错误. 这是St. 托马斯·十大赌博登录官网在开篇告诉我们 总而言之，魂斗罗哲学家工作的目的. 当然，从教学角度来说， the professor also provides helpful mechanisms that give the student the opportunity 选择承担起智慧的美德. 但是，学生，为了 obtain the just end and responsibility of his or her office, must freely choose to engage in the activity of acquiring the order of reason, knowing the material being 研究与现实本身，并驳斥错误. 在十大赌博正规平台在线，我们追求成就 these reciprocal and complimentary ends and responsibilities in humility and with courage, obtaining 良好的 and perfection of the teacher-student relation in disputatio style dialectic with each other and the classics of philosophical thought.

In the course of Plato’s dialogue, it becomes apparent that 更少 lacks virtue. He does not seek to satisfy wonder in the humble pursuit of the truth, nor does he choose to take on the methodical use of reason that Socrates clearly and emphatically expresses 对他. As with Sophists like Gorgias—who 更少 admires—he wishes to use the power of speech to display himself as an authority, speaking as a fearless and great man to h是一个udience so that he might receive honor and praise and manipulate for his own 物质利益. He has memorized accounts spoken by those who impress him in manner and style, but he has not thought critically about the accounts—he has not thought them for himself or understood them so he cannot see their limitations, errors, and 不连贯. Consequently, h是一个ccounts do not withstand the rational and critical ἔλεγχος(辩驳) of Socrates, who shows him with reason that, truly, he does not know what virtue is so that he could not, in principle, answer as to whether or not it is teachable. 被 shown his own ignorance, in his pride, lacking the humility to be taught and the courage to proceed where he has uncertainty, 更少 falsely accuses Socrates of harming him 他雇佣了一个 ο ιστικός λόγος or an eristic attack in speech on the person of Socrates— contrary to reason and akin 到身体暴力. Lacking even basic self-知识 of the action of his own speech, 他没有意识到自己自相矛盾. 最后，他似乎保持了理智 in the place that he began, without learning, without obtaining 知识 and intellectual virtue, and he is even unaware that his own servant has put him to shame by humbly and courageously taking on and displaying true intellectual virtue in his own dialogue 与苏格拉底. 

十大赌博正规平台在线 哲学 seeks to connect teacher and student in a relation of rational discourse and carry on the perennial tradition of Socratic dialogue in the pursuit 的知识. 这才是真正意义上的教育 文科, in which alone we seek freely and not for utilitarian purposes, and which alone sets us free to obtain the highest perfection of our rational faculties. 不幸的是, contemporary culture often deviates greatly from the ideal of Socratic dialogue. “老师” and “student” are not engaged in mutually perfective rational-discourse (λόγος/标志), but as abusing words to justify what they already want and excluding all rational 他们是挑战 μῑσόλογοι(misologoi) 或haters-of-rational-discourse (斐多篇). Now, perhaps more than at any time in the past, there 是一个 need to depart from the 梅诺和他的家人走过的骄傲的道路 μῑσόλογοι(misologoi). There 是一个 need for clear and logically coherent thinking and expression, and for the humble study and articulation of philosophy in friendship ordered to the truth about the issues most important for human existence at the individual and the communal 水平. 十大赌博正规平台在线 哲学 seeks to fulfill this need, bringing together those who would express the virtues of wisdom with those who would freely choose to form it as a virtue in dialogue to the point that 学生 become teachers and teachers 学生.
