Recenzje

"I think there is much to commend. Magrini demonstrates a deep knowledge of Platonic dialogues and his ultimate critique of schools and colleges is important. ... Anyone in philosophy of education interested in re-thinking Plato, Socrates, and teaching Plato's dialogues should know this book." (Teacher's College Record, September 17, 2019)
