خلاصة:
Education is leading man towards sublime human values, so that he understands, accepts, loves, and applies those values. A human who reaches this station may well engage in choosing values and become his own guide and educator, and this is the highest meaning of education, which is the free and conscious turning towards values. This article seeks to show the philosophical foundations of Plato's perspective on education as a turning towards true values; this approach is true not only for the individual but also for society and its evolution, because society will only be on the path of evolution when it turns towards true values, and whenever its ambition weakens and turns away from true values and becomes attached to false values, it declines. That is why we can say that if, under normal conditions, only a small part of social conditions can be commanded and controlled and planned, but with Plato's educational approach, the greatest duty of rulers of any society is to provide these conditions in such a way that it provides a ground for the possibility of flourishing abilities and spiritual evolution of society, that is, turning towards human values.

But if this individual had been able to gather the capabilities of various craftsmen within himself, it was undoubtedly because he had not learned their professions in the usual way through apprenticeship; his knowledge of the arts was based on theoretical studies; he was a scholar of arithmetic and geometry, skilled in astronomy and music, in addition to these, he had an art of which he was the innovator, and apparently the secret of his success and general competence lay in it: the science of growth, but it was certainly nothing more than a means to facilitate mental activity; what in fact constituted the universal and general knowledge of Hippias depended on the role assigned to theoretical materials, of which the various arts are nothing but their realization in the practical world.
Thus, while the technical aspects of Sophistic education find their way into the Platonic system, the educational goal of Protagoras is also fulfilled: moral education rediscovers its true foundation in thinking about the conditions of objectivity and in what free thought requires; virtue is teachable because it becomes knowledge; ethics is based on the objective recognition of values.
