The text discusses the importance and contribution of political philosophy outlined by Aristotle to the current context of civic education. It analyzes Aristotle’s thinking about who a citizen of polis is, how he becomes a citizen, which characteristics he should have and finally it explains how such a citizen should be educated. One of the means preferred by Aristotle is music, its melodic and rhythmic significance, thanks to which a citizen habits the virtues. This concept of education is an expression of growing mythic-poetic experience that can be transferred by the humanistic and educational courses.
