What does Aristotle think is the function of education?
Aristotle believes that in order to make a country prosperous and civilized and its people civilized and happy, a country should not only have a good government, but also rely on the power of education to make its people "good people" with good quality. In his view, "because the whole country as a whole has an ultimate goal, it is obvious that all citizens receive the same education, and it should be the obligation of the state to care about this education, rather than relying on the strength of a few people ... In this respect, Rastemen (Spartans) is commendable: they are extremely concerned about children's education, and their education is national." "If citizens don't have the habit of maintaining order, if they don't have spiritual education to maintain order ... any most useful law is useless." Therefore, he believes that the rulers of the country should attach great importance to the role of education and give equal education to all people in the country.
