Plato: Patriot Or Dissident

Greek philosopher Plato is considered to be one of the greatest thinkers in history and is called by scholars as "the source of all Western thought." In his book "Republic" he outlines the perfect state of the city and how it works. Along the way of his reason, he did not try to conceal his contempt for other political systems. This includes democracy, a system he seems not to agree. In fact, from what I read, Plato clearly opposes democracy and its principles.

There are many ways to explain the relationship between Plato and classical aesthetics. The political regime outlined in the Republic shows justice in terms of partial and overall relations. Plato, however, is undoubtedly against classical culture and the explanation of the beauty expressed in the "seminar" - presumably the key to the concept of neoplatonism and idealistic beauty - the text of Socrates - expresses the desire for beauty It is a perfect match. At the drinking party, Socrates talks to his teacher the teachings of Diotima in love. She associates the beauty of the experience with the desire to erode or copy it (Plato, 558-59). But the desire to copy it is linked to the desire for immortality or eternity. Because this is a dead and eternal factor in our mortality rate.

Plato uses "people of democracy" to represent democracy. Democrats are the sons of the oligarchy regime. Unlike his father, Democrats are swallowed by unnecessary desire. Plato expresses the necessary desire as our instinctive desire or survival desire. Unnecessary desire is the desire to teach themselves to resist, such as the desire for wealth. Democrats are interested in everything he buys with money. Whenever you want to do anything what he wants. His life does not have order and precedence
