A Study of Plato’s Aesthetics of Music

本文全面研究柏拉图的音乐美学,讨论了他的音乐的概念、音乐判断的标准、音乐教育以及剧场政体和贵族政体,涉及了柏拉图音乐美学的各个方面。最后的结论是,从其理论性质看,柏拉图的音乐美学是一种理想主义的音乐美学;从其理论形态看,柏拉图的音乐美学是一种规定的体系,而不是描述的体系。

This is a paper which studies Plato＇s aesthetics of music comprehensively, discussing his concept of music, the criterion of music judgment, the education of music, theatrocracy and aristocracy, involving every aspect of his music aesthetics. The final conclusion is that, as viewed from its nature of the theory, Plato＇s aesthetics of music is a kind of idealism and elitism; that, as viewed from its type of the theory, Plato＇s aesthetics of music is a kind of the system of provision rather than a kind of the system of description.
