柏拉图对话集:美学卷-西方人文经典读本-英文版 内容简介
plato had a love-hate relationship with the arts. he must have
had some love for the arts， and his influence on western culture
generally is a very strong one， and this includes a strong
influence on the arts， and on theories of art.
beauty，justice， and circle are all examples of what plato called
forms or ideas. for plato， these forms are perfect ideals， but they
are also more real than physical objects. he called them "the
really real"， so art is imitation， and the best human life is one
that strives to understand and to imitate the forms as closely as
possible.

柏拉图对话集:美学卷-西方人文经典读本-英文版 作者简介
PLATO（424/423 BC-348/347 BC）， was a Classical Greek
philosopher， mathematician， student of Socrates， writer of
philosophical dialogues， and founder of the
Academy in Athens， the first institution of higher earning in the
Western world， just as A.N. Whitehead says：
The safest general characterization of the European philosophical
tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato， I
do not mean the systematic scheme of thought which scholars have
doubtfully extracted from his writings， I allude to the wealth of
general ideas scattered through them.
Plato's dialogues have been used to teach a range of subjects，
including philosophy， logic， educes， rhetoric， and mathematics.
