Plato, The Republic Book X on Art

Описание: Dr. Ellie Anderson, philosophy professor and co-host of Overthink podcast, explains why Socrates argues for banishing poets and other imitative artists from the ideal city in Book X of Plato's Republic. How does this view relate to Plato's view of the soul and to television-watching today? Textbook is Aesthetics: A Comprehensive Anthology reader, ed. Cahn and Meskin (Blackwell, 2008).

This video is part of a series introducing philosophers' views of art and aesthetics.
