This article deals with a classic of educational reflection, both from the point of view of research and from the point of view of teaching practice: the philosopher Aristotle from the contributions of Historical-Critical Pedagogy. It is not a matter of literally "applying" the views of this thinker in a hasty and uncritical way to school and research in contemporary education without major concerns. On the contrary, we understand that the study of Aristotelian work, as well as of Greek society, can provide subsidies for understanding the importance of the classics in education. This text deals with the social and historical bases of Greece and the elements present in the work "Ethics to Nicomaches", which help to understand the particularity of the educational dimension and the relevance of human culture developed for the development of individualities in formation.
