The Poetry Of Philosophy-Plato's View Of Poetics

Plato's poetics is closely related to his political philosophy.Philosophy is the care of the self-individual,and politics is related to the overall introduction of the city,so in the ideal city constructed by Plato,philosophy and politics are still a pair of difficult to coordinate;as the best teacher in the city-philosopher intends to lead the public toward happiness,but the tension between the philosopher's non-lying trait and the people to be inspired is still hard to reconcile.Poetics is an intermediary to deal with the contradiction between politics and philosophy,people and philosophy.Focusing on the five articles "Phaedrus","Republic","Ion" "Symposium","Phaedo".Instead of using the "line theory" and "intention theory" which are generally accepted by Plato's research,but according to Plato's Socratic life-death venation structure.Ask Phaedrus(poetry division),Poetry is created by gods("Ion" to belittle poetry),the construction of the ideal nation(expulsion of poetry)to "Symposium" to recognize the importance of poetry(combined tragedy and comedy),and Create poetry before dying(the poetry of philosophy).From the initial criticism of poetry to the final acceptance of poetry,The Socrates in the book perfectly illustrates Plato's poetics.In the face of the public and the city,even if the criticism of poetry is completed,philosophy is not an easy one to lead the city.In front of politics,philosophy seemed a bit powerless,and it needed to mask itself to avoid being harmed.In order to serve the common interests of the city,philosophy needs to say some "noble lies."However,the philosophical pursuit of truth-seeking features does not allow the philosopher to lie.He desperately needs an ally.This is the reason for the creation of philosophical poems.Of course,Socrates-Plato,as a teacher-student relationship,Socrates did not write about anything for his whole life.As a philosopher,he implemented his own philosophical ideas through practical actions;Plato recorded the teachers'Words and deeds,this is also the interpretation of "philosophical poem."It can be said that it is impossible to leave Socrates philosophy without Plato's Dialogues.Without the help of poetry,philosophy is very difficult to gain a foothold in the city-state.
