Education in The Republic of Plato

Educated people are responsible for helping people with low education level respect. Every society in education and history respects their scholars and scientists, but what are the responsibilities of educated people? Some educated people have to take care of people with low educational backgrounds, or some may think that they do not have citizens' duties, but according to the famous Greek philosopher Platon, It is not true at all. Plato was born in Athens in 428 BC, is one of the students of Socrates, and Socrates is another very influential Greek scholar who built the foundations of Plato's many theories. It has been approved as "Republic" (http://www.egs.edu/library/plato/biography/).

The fable of the cave is one of the most famous passage in the history of Western philosophy. This is a short excerpt from the beginning of Volume 7 of the "Republic" of the book. Plato speaks of the parable in the context of education; it is about the essence of philosophy education that ultimately provides insight into Plato's educational outlook. Socrates is the protagonist of the Republic and Glaucon told Glaucon about the cave fable Glaucon is one of Plato 's brothers. In the seventh book of the Republic, Socrates talked to Glaucon that he is his interlocutor. Their hands, feet and neck are very tight and can not move. Only the rear wall of the cave can be seen in front of their eyes. Socrates said:

The Republic of Plato adopted a series of dialogues between the first person narrator (Socrates, Plato's teacher) and various reality characters. Perhaps the most famous part of the Republic 'Fable of the Cave' is the dialogue between Socrates and Platon's brother Glaucon. In this section, Socrates tries to explain how people acquire knowledge and wisdom, and "through the metaphor," the essential form of goodness of perception "(paragraphs 31, 10). He was confined to Glaucon in the complete darkness trapped in the cave since birth and they can not move their bodies or move their heads to see what is in front of them I asked him to imagine the group bundled in. Anywhere outside the wall, such walls are the only ones they know about life.

The Republic of Plato is best known for the ultimate justification of justice, but it also includes an equally strong defense of philosophy education. However, due to the complexity of the dialogue, Plato's belief in education is difficult to tell. Not only did Socrates (the mouthpiece of the dialogue's platform) propose two different educational visions (the first is the education of the warrior guardian, the second is the philosopher - the education of the king), but he is more subtle Instruction of education to provide His teaching methods were used in Glaucon and Adeimantus. The dramatic background of the dialogue makes it difficult to grasp all aspects of the Republic, which is also the key to deciding and understanding the true vision of Socratic Education from the viewpoint of education.
