柏拉图《理想国》《法律篇》的文艺教育观

On the Literature and Art Education View Reflected in Plato's The Republic and The Law

文艺教育问题是从《理想国》到《法律篇》柏拉图一直在延续着的一个话题,其中谈论较多的是以"模仿"为基本前提开展的文艺教育讨论。在柏拉图看来,要实现和谐、培育优秀的城邦统治者就要让他们接受好的文艺教育,讲好故事,不能讲丑恶的假故事,内容要杜绝哀挽和悲伤,从内容到形式都要健康、反映积极的生活。这些内容也构成了柏拉图文艺教育观的核心,并具体体现为他对文艺教育评判的标准和实现文艺教育目的的基本看法,对我们反思文艺创作及其作品应当承担的的社会责任有重要的鉴借价值。
