  • Review of Randall Curren : Aristotle on the necessity of public education
    Strike, Kenneth A.
    Curren argues that public education is essential for the legitimacy of the state because legitimacy rests on rational consent that requires public education. Curren also takes an Aristotelian ... approach to education for citizenship arguing that virtue is a prerequisite for rational consent. Finally, he suggests that schools that lack a shared sense of the highest goodwill be largely instrumental in their aspirations and that this limits their ability to secure the requisite virtues. This set of commitments suggests a paradox which I formulate as follows: Schools that lack shared aims beyond such social lubricants as trust and civility are likely to be reduced to an instrumentalist view of education that puts these goods at risk. Schools that are committed to some shared view of a good life that informs its conception of a good education will diminish pluralism. Much of the review explores the implication of this paradox.
