A very interesting idea. I don't know if Plato would have agreed, but I would leave that up to the Professors to determine. I agree that philosophy can be a source of guidance in all areas of our lives - it has been in mine for years. Since first introduced to "The Dialogues" during my freshman year at Saint Anselm College," I been a great fan of Plato and Aristotle. "The Republic" is my favorite book. I would love to see a similar program tried in schools as well. Perhaps Plato would have seen more value in this - children are the future of the state!
