- Summary
- "Authors of Greek and Roman philosophical protreptics imitate a kind of exhortation initially associated with Socrates, creating a thread of typically protreptic intertextuality that classifies protreptic as a genre of philosophical literature.

These texts constitute the first chapter in the history of educational revision and thus offer thoughts that continue to inform every debate on educational goals"--
