The Study Of Plato's "Gymnastics" Thought

Plato's"the Republic"is a work that mainly embodies his educational ideas.In his book,the third volume of Socrates and Glaukon in the dialogue,talk about"Gymnastics"and music education thought.Socrates said in his talk,"the legislator who built our education on music and sports is not like some people think of it.It is to care for the body with music,and to take care of the body with sports^[1]."the key sentences in this paragraph"is to take care of the soul with music,sports,take care of the body"in the modern academic understanding and practice of education,is naturally formed in another way of saying that"physical exercise,music,edify sentiment",this argument in some extent one-sided understanding the statement in the original meaning of Plato.This research has carried on the deep research to Plato's"Gymnastics"thought.In this study,Plato's"Gymnastics"thought has been systematically analyzed and studied by means of documentation,logic and history and hermeneutics.Especially for"Utopia"in the"Gymnastics"thoughts are analyzed,and combined with Plato's philosophical views of the other interpretation of"Gymnastics"thinking of the in-depth interpretation of the contents,including Plato"Gymnastics"ideological background of the origin,content and effect etc..The research results show that Plato's"Gymnastics"idea is very rich.First of all,the inheritance and development of the division of Socrates's philosophy about the virtues of the source of his"Gymnastics"philosophy,and Pythagoras School of music philosophy and Heraclitus about the relations between the body and the soul of the philosophical argument,and summed up the"Gymnastics"thought embodied in the philosophy of physical and mental outlook in the second;the content of education,Plato's thought of"Gymnastics"to"seven families"education objects,education level and age have certain requirements,the education thought of moral education,training and meditation,and create an ideal life philosophy king to beauty,virtue and the erotic value;again on Plato's"Gymnastics"examine positive influence in Philosophy in the background at that time,on the other hand also admitted that it has a certain negative Influence.This study concludes that Plato's thought of"Gymnastics"is not a modern understanding of the body and mind the thought of separation,"a gymnastic exercise,cultivate the soul"to music education philosophy mental separation is a one-sided understanding,contrary to Plato's thought of"Gymnastics".In the view of Plato's thought of"Gymnastics",the soul of the culture is based on Gymnastics and music on,both exist for the soul of harmony,so that the body is not separated,the body is a part of the soul is the soul of the body,the exercise is for the three part of the harmony of the soul.In Plato's view,the body is part of the soul,the two are not detachable,and the harmony of body and mind is the essence of his"gymnastic"thought.This clarifies the one-sided understanding of Plato's thought of physical education in"the Republic"which is put forward in the modern sports ideology,that is,"taking care of the mind with music,taking care of the body with sports".It is hoped that the scholars who will be able to learn the ideas of the predecessors of philosophy should be grasped and understood in a comprehensive way.
