In "On the Education of the Young," philosophy is explicitly endorsed as the most important educational exercise that a young person should engage in.
Only philosophy is competent for the expansion of the passions of the soul and, indeed, it becomes a remedy for the passions. It demands moderation and the avoidance of excess in both joy and sorrow.
Philosophical training reflects on human character and shapes the individual. A person educated in philosophy is not an ordinary, indistinct individual.
