Seneca, together with Alcinous, Apuleius, Albinus, Taurus and an anonymousNeoplatonic author – as I try to show in this paper –, encourages us to think thatstudying is essential not so much in order to acquire an education, but in orderto learn how to live. According to these testimonies, to achieve this aim we musttake into consideration several aspects and problems related to teaching, whichare still discussed today and for which the ancient philosophers have their ownsolutions. Ancient philosophers’ debates and reflections on schools and teaching,on reading programs and on the nature of students can be useful to reconsidercertain limits of current Italian schools and of the country’s educational system,which in “modernizingµ education seems to have lost sight of the very purposeof teaching.
