Abstract
This chapter offers a more educational and political critique of p4c, centered on a critique of the idea of formation. Starting from Plato’s idea of the relationships among childhood, education, and politics, it shows the birth of a continuous line of thought and practice, in which p4c surprisingly establishes itself.
