Abstract

SANZI, Ennio. Education and Philosphy in Plutarch's Moralia: The De liberis educandis and the De Iside et Osiride, in other words, when the teacher trains the student to be a philosopher. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.02, pp.267-278. ISSN 2178-5201.

ABSTRACT The De liberis educandis and the De Iside et Osiride are specifically related to paideia: the former work analyzes how to train a student in philosophy; the latter shows how a person educated in philosophy could relate himself to a cult alien to Greek religious tradition. In fact, only through philosophy it is possible to understand the deeper meaning of a mythology which is quite different from the Greek one. In fact, the concept of dualism is hidden within the strange tale of Isis and Osiris, or rather, a notion that only a philosophical-allegorical interpretation may reveal.
