ARTICLE (Full Text - PDF)Plato’s Educational System in Athens


KEY WORDS: Plato, education, education philosophy, music, gymnastics, city.

ABSTRACT:
Education in ancient Greece looked for good of the community, aiming at the creation of virtuous citizens. Its ideal was bravery, daring, but also governance, aesthetics, and imagination through art and music. All ensured that the child would realize that he was a member of a community for the happiness and well-being of which their personal desire or pleasure had to be subdued. For Plato, virtuous is the man who combines knowledge and strong will to help him to be free from the bonds of the body and move on to the truth and the sight of the “good”.
