Let them fashion the mind with such tales, even more fondly than they mold the body with their hands; but most of those which are now in use must be discarded.”[9]The present fiction writers or poets who do not sing the prescribed tune shall be banished or denied platform for performance[10]. Plato is the first western philosopher to theorize and put in practice through the establishment of Academy, the concept of institutionalizedpublic education system in the west.
Hence the education begins from the birth itself. After Socrates unveils the cave analogy, in retrospect the whole dialogue leading up to the cave appears to be an example of Socrates' pedagogical method. Looking back to his stage of education designed by Plato and compared to comment with the theory of cognitive development by Jen Piget we now we can see the clear gaps of the stage of designed by Plato. The scientific education orients the youth towards the truth. [13] PLATO's games became so popular that a program called "The Enforcer" was written to run as a background process to regulate or disable game play at most sites and times – a precursor to parental-style control systems that regulate access based on content rather than security considerations.
The teachers must teach by example, same is true for parents outside Plato’s commune. PLATO, in full Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operations, computer -based education system created in 1960 by Donald L.Bitzer at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). For him taking care of education is state’s foremost responsibility, as it is instrumental to create politically unequal classes and maintain it in the context of politically egalitarian Athens, notwithstanding the economic inequalities. They will be trained on coordination of reason and habits; interrelating the physical science etc. Socrates suggests that the guardians be controlled through an education designed to make them like "noble puppies" that are fierce with enemies and gentle with familiars (375a). In ancient Greece, two systems of education were prevalent — Athenian and the Spartan.
Glaucon wants this illusive, erotic knowledge that Socrates dangles before him, but just as his interest is sparked, Socrates tells him it is too complicated, which arouses Glaucon even more (506e). By the late 1970s, it supported several thousand graphics terminals distributed worldwide, running on nearly a dozen different networked mainframe computers. Not the state centered.
Through appropriate music and drills; sports; exercises as part of gymnastics, the elementary education prepares the youth into a disciplined soldier, the courageous watch dog knowing well on whom to be fierce or friendly. In the second stage, Plato only focused on the treatment of should but that age is a high time to learn some basics of science and philosophy. Socrates never resolves the tension between the importance of nature and education for the development of philosopher-kings, which makes it difficult to understand which is most important. Socrates, recognizing that Glaucon is still attached to lavishness, goes along with his request to make the city more luxurious. I should rather expect, I said, that several of our proposals, if they are carried out, being unusual, may appear ridiculous.
In the mid-1970s CDC licensed the PLATO system from UIUC and began to commercialize it. Gods must never be shown as unjust for fear that children will think it acceptable and honorable to do injustice. CDC focused PLATO on delivering computer-based instruction and training for the U.S. Department of Defense and other agencies, later renaming it CYBIS and selling it in the 1990s to Vcampus Corp. Many modern concepts in multi-user computing were originally developed on PLATO, including forums, message boards, online testing, e-mail, chat rooms, pic… Socrates' ludicrous examples, different images, and persistent questioning are clearly intended to help guide his pupils upward through the levels of reality to the highest, truest knowledge of what is. After the completion of education, the philosopher kings/queens devote themselves to the contemplation of the truth and the wellbeing of the people and guide them to just ways of the life. At this stage the scope of the music takes a higher form by including selected harmonies and rhythms. In accordance with the progressive, playful, philosophical education suggested by the cave analogy and the philosopher-kings' education, Socrates uses numerous varying and often conflicting ideas and images (among which is the first account of education) to gradually guide his pupils toward a personal realization of knowledge and philosophy. In that way you can better discern what each is naturally directed towards" (537a).
Although Socrates presents two explicit methods of education in the Republic, his preferred pedagogical method is difficult to identify because of the dramatic context of the dialogue. In many ways Madadeni was very primitive. Every component of speech must follow the disposition of a good soul; "Good speech, good harmony, good grace, and good rhythm accompany good disposition" (400e). [4] Quoted in William Ebenstein, The Great Political Thinkers, p. [5]गुरुर्देवो भव; गुरुर्ब्रह्मा, गुरुर्विष्णु….
Next, he teaches about thought through his discussion of the philosopher-kings' education and dialectics. In his ideal statethere is no space for physicians, who instead of curing increase the illness like non-conforming poets and artists they too are banished[29].
Socrates' style of questioning/answering and refuting arguments also gains meaning after his discussion of the philosopher's return to the cave and dialectics.
