As a composed being, a human person‘s existence, life, and growth encompass intellectual and moral development. In the light of Ancient Greek Philosophy, in this paper, we make a philosophical analysis on the nature of education that embraces both the intellectual and moral formation of the learners. We aim at seeing how these two dimensions of formative education are related and how the contemporary world can use such a combination for the good of the learners in particular and the good of the entire human society at large. We expose some moral and professional divergences in case learners are formed in one aspect of the two while excluding the other.
