Abstract	My aim in this paper is to challenge the neo-Aristotelian tradition, currently dominant in contemporary theories of virtue education, by proposing the Platonic pedagogical methodology for virtue cultivation as a worthy alternative to the Aristotelian theory of education. I highlight that, in contrast to Aristotle's limited remarks concerning virtue education, Plato conceptualizes and develops a rigorous educational theory in the "Republic" that considers many different facets of education -- i.e. moral character education, intellectual character education, exemplarism and educational corruption. Given Plato's immense contribution to virtue education theory, I conclude that his educational program merits more attention. It can serve as inspiration both for improving existing theories of character education and for developing new ones. (As Provided).
