What is psychagogia?

Answer 1

The Greek word psychagogia, literally, leading of the soul, is used in Plato's Phaedrus to define a positive role for rhetoric (techne psychagogia tis dia logon, "the art of leading the soul by means of words"). In its original context this word described a ritual of raising souls from the dead.

Answer 2

Psychagogia is a term derived from Greek roots that roughly translates to "leading souls." In modern contexts, it is often used to refer to spiritual or psychological guidance, as well as processes that facilitate personal growth and self-discovery.
