Мetaphysics of pedagogical technologies in the works of ancient greek philosophers of the classical period

Abstract

The article examines the pedagogical heritage of outstanding ancient Greek philosophers of the classical period (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle) and analyzes the possibilities introducing its most effective technologies into the theory and practice of the modern educational process. The author provides an exhaustive description of the ancient thinkers’ approaches to the educational problem, based on their ideological and general philosophical foundations. Self-knowledge and the interrogative method of Socrates, the systematic and social orientation of Plato's pedagogy, Aristotelian attention to the development of natural abilities of any person and his idea of the need for education for all citizens – these principles not only do not lose their effectiveness to this day, but are becoming increasingly relevant in connection with the need for humanization and individualization of the educational process. Therefore, it is no coincidence that they were in the focus of our research attention, both from a philosophical and pedagogical point of view.
