Play-to

The author of this article seems to read at the dialogic level only, whereas as we have seen at the dramatic level Plato seems to understand very well the playfulness inherent in the process of teaching and learning. Then of course we must struggle at the dialectical level to grasp what Plato really wants us to think, in light of the apparent contradiction. Nonetheless, the article has some useful things to say about the educational importance of play. http://chronicle.com/article/Platos-War-on-Play/148987/
