ABSTRACT
In this chapter we address the following two questions: Is the transformation of students into virtue-seeking young people that Plato recommends possible in contemporary school settings? Can epiphanies be generated and rehabituation fostered in contemporary times between one teacher and a class full of students? To show how teachers can do this we first explore the nature and characteristics of epiphanies in greater depth. We discuss examples of different ways in which teachers can induce epiphanies in their students. And we argue that this requires a teacher to have philosophical, psychological, and pedagogical knowledge of their students.
