Plato´s Philosophy in The Rupublic

Plato was born in Athens around 428 BC. When I was a child, this situation did not last long as my father died and my mother was a widow, a male mother who had lost her husband and was single remarried to a man named Pyrilampes. . When Plato was born, it was called Alice Torque and was awarded the title of Plankton. He is very interested in poetry and music; he is particularly good at philosophy, which includes the field of philosophy called epistemology which explains theoretical principles and human knowledge and character.

Of course Plato's philosophy has more than this; but this is enough to explain his artistic view. (For more information on Plato's philosophy, please visit the library or check online philosophical encyclopedia.) Plato has two artistic theories. One can be found in his dialogue "Republic", which seems to be a theory that Plato himself believes. According to this theory, art mimics material things, and material things imitate shapes, so art is always a copy of that copy, guiding us far from the truth and illusion. For this, and because it stimulates the power of emotion, art is dangerous. Another theory of Plato was suggested in his short dialogue "Ion" and his well-designed workshop. According to this theory, artists can use sacred inspiration to create true copies that are superior to normal experience. Therefore, the artist is a prophet. Here are some of the features of these two theories:

According to Bertrand Russell, since Plato's theory is the first theory to emphasize universality, it has made a very important philosophical progress. Plato's theory is generally considered unconvincing. Because Plato thinks that every object and concept of the outside world is an imperfect copy of the image or form of the formal world. This shows that there is a perfect form of movie tickets, dirt, insects and so on. According to Bertrand Russell, his form of view is extremely strong.

Plato is thought to be one of the founder of political philosophy, even in commemoration of Plato's work, even Aristotle is the beginning of Platonist. At least one of the Republic of Plato has a clear meaning as one of the basic works of political and philosophical traditions. Although the Republic of Plato is being read in many ways, Plato says that philosophy is a special way of thinking in connection with the special insights that the political leaders of the aristocratic republic should have is one of the common points is. Through this insight only leaders can lead in a way superior to desire-led leadership, which is truth in the concept of government brought by democracy, oligarchy, democracy, and tyranny - Plato I can do it. , Explanation, criticism (Plato 1970: 545 c ff.)
