A Glimpse at Plato's Views on Women

在古代，胎教与小说有着密切的关系。探究胎教与小说关系之源将有利于妇女优生优育的研究，有利于小说观念历史演变的研究，尤其是有利于弘扬中国优秀的传统文化。

In the first five chapters of his renowned REPUBLIC, Plato gives rise to the idea that men and women are equal. He observed that both men and women should receive education, that they should be given equal duties, that they enjoy equal rights in meals, living conditions, traveling and bringing up children, that they should not have private property. He also praises love and marriage and condemned dissipation and licen- tiousness. These ideas of his, even at present, are progressive and scientific. But he was an idealism philoso- pher after all. His views on women have vital flaws.
