Every educational research community is infused with the sensibilities of intellectual epochs and movements that anteceded it and that gave rise to it. In the decade approaching the end of the 20th century educational researchers are becoming increasingly aware that there are insistent humanistic, romantic and critical sensibilities that subtly pervade our present day search for a self- conscious way of thinking, which in turn supplants the performative demands of a technological rationality which emphasises a competency-based approach in education. These sensibilities are evident in that interest which is akin to a fascination with openness and indeterminateness, and revealed in educational debates about norms, values, truth and the epistemology of reflective practice Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10500/5465 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10500/5463 The Doric column : a representation of the norms of virtue Mare, E.A. At the previous conference my purpose was to give a rhetorical interpretation to the sacred geometry of the west façade of the Parthenon, the best-known of all Greek tempies, the apogee of Hellenic architecture, built by architects Ichtinus and Callicrates for Perieles, the client, from 447-32 BC, on the Acropolis in Athens Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10500/5463 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10500/5421 Plato's views on crime and punishment Ladikos, A. The immensity of the task I undertook, namely, to venture into the philosophy of Plato regarding his views on crime and punishment, only struck me the moment I started researching his relevant works. Therefore, right from the outset, I need to admit that it is a mammoth task, an assignment of monumental proportions. Furthermore, I do not profess to have a thorough knowledge of all his works in the original Greek, and I need to admit that I can only endeavour to speak as a criminologist with psychological background attempting to unravel the views of a legendary philosopher. Some might say an exercise in futility, but as the Greeks used to say, "Giraskw aei didaskomenos", meaning, I always keep on learning while I grow old.
