Many educationalists consider it a weak and woolly field, too far removed from the practical applications of the real world to be usefiul. But philosaphers dating back to Plato and the Ancient Greeks have given ihe area much thought and emphasis, and there is little doubit that their work has helped shape the practice of education over the millennia. Plato is the carliest important edicational thinker, and oducation is an essential clement in "The Republic" (his most itmpörtint work on philosophy and political thcory, writen around 360 BC) In t, he advocates some rather extreme methods removing childre from their mothers' care and raising them as wards of the state. and differentiating children suitable to the vanons castees, the highest receiving the most cdncation, so that they could act as guardians of the city and care for the less able He believed that educanon should be holisic, including facts. skills, physical discipline, music and art Plato believed that taient and imtelligence is not distributed genetically and thus is be found in children born to all classes: although his propased system of selective public eduçation for an educated minority of the population does not really follow a democratic model.
Aristotle considered human nature, habit and reason to be equally important forces to be cultivated in education, the ultimate aim of which should be to produce good and virtuoirs eitizens. He proposed that teachers lend their students systematically, and that repetition be used as a key tool to develop good liabits, unlike Socrates' emphasis on questioning his listeners to bring out theit own idens. He emphasized the balancing of the theoretical and practical aspects of subjects taught. among which he explicitly mentions reading witing, mathematies. musia, physical education, literature, history, and a wide range of sciences, as well ns play. which he also considered important.
During the Medteval period, the idea of Perenialism was first formulated by St. Thomas Aquinas in his work "De Magistro". Perennialism holds that one should teach those things deemed to be of everlasting importance to all people everywhere, namely principles and reasoning, not just facts (which are apt to change over time), and that one should teach first about people, not machines or techniques It was originally religious n nature, and it was only much later thata theory of secular perennialism developed.
