Aristotle ' s immediate concern continues to be education in its emphatic sense-the education (paideia) of children (paides) or, more generally , of the young. But we have found reason to believe that the question\()f education is not identical with the question of the education of the young; and if Book VIII appears at first sight to be devoted wholly to the lat ter question-if, indeed , it appears to identify education altogether with the education of the young-it is necessary to bear in mind both the range and flexibility of the term paideia itself and the fact that Politics VIII as we have it by no means represents Aristotle ' s last word on the subject of education .

He is thinking in particular of music , and of the cor rupting effect of a professional or " technical " education in music . An education of this sort is harmful above all to the soul because it encourages the desire to please and hence to adapt oneself to a "vulgar" audience of illiberal tastes ( 1 34 1 b8- 1 8) .
