Abstract
This essay seeks to show that teaching and learning are to be
properly understood, not as an undertaking carried out on the
will of a higher power or party, but as a way of life with an
integrity of its own, arising from its own integral purposes.
The essay thus seeks to provide an understanding of
educational practice and of educational thought that contrasts
in key respects with Alasdair MacIntyre’s understanding,
though also with a some notable parallels. A largely forgotten
‘Socrates of Athens’ is identified as furnishing the original
inspiration for the understanding of education explored in the
essay. Some influential modern (and postmodern) negations
of this understanding are then reviewed. Arising from its
investigation of teaching and learning as a singular kind of
relationship, the essay concludes with a brief sketch of some
virtues that might constitute the way of life in question, in its
more active and its more reflective moments.
