In this continuation of "The Realm of Isocrates," Kevin Cole and I explore the ripple effect Isocrates's educational philosophy had on subsequent history, through the lens of an article critiquing the mainstream view of the development of educational theory. Most scholars concerned with the history of educational theory have over-looked the influence of Isocrates, instead tending to credit Plato and Aristotle with the creation of education as we understand it today. However, as is shown in this episode, these claims are tenuous at best. This discussion spans two thousand years of European history, highlighting critical moments in the evolution of educational theory, revealing the fact that the credit - or blame - for our traditional methods of schooling lies not with Socrates, Plato, or Aristotle, but with Isocrates.
