Sommario/riassunto

"Aristotle is undisputedly a major thinker in education. Alexander Mosley's volume offers the most coherent account of Aristotle's educational thought. This work is divided into: 1) Intellectual Bibliography 2) Critical exposition of Aristotle's work 3) The reception and influence of Aristotle's work 4) The relevance of the work today."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
