Abstract

In the Laws, Plato presents an educational program for all members of the projected city of Magnesia, which concerns not only various kinds of specific knowledge, but also, and more importantly, the application of ethical and political virtues, in view of becoming excellent citizens and achieving a ?good life? in the long run, at the private and public level. These objectives are realised in many ways, as for example, by the people?s participating in the legislation and the city?s administration, by receiving a common fundamental education, including lessons of reading, writing, mathematics and astronomy; practicing sports; playing music; singing; dancing and also by taking an active role in religious festivals. The population is then divided in three groups, according to age, and they form ?choirs? dedicated to different divinities (the children to the Muses, the young people to Apollo, the elderly to Dionysus). Thus, we may deduce that Plato was one of the ancient Greek philosophers who supported the concept of ?lifelong learning,? expanded through various kinds of knowledge, skills and qualities. In my paper I examine the objectives, different contents of Plato?s pedagogical project destined to all the Magnetes, the various methods he proposed to use in order to arrive at its attainment, as well as the eventual reasons for these choices, related to his philosophical theories. I conclude by making a comparison with the notion of ?lifelong learning? as we understand it today.
公民终身学习柏拉图的法律
在《律法》中,柏拉图为计划中的马格尼西亚城的所有成员提出了一个教育计划,不仅涉及各种具体知识,而且更重要的是,伦理和政治美德的应用,以期成为优秀的公民,实现“美好的生活”。从长远来看,在私人和公共层面。这些目标是通过许多方式实现的,例如通过人民来实现。S参与立法和城市?美国政府,通过接受共同的基础教育,包括阅读,写作,数学和天文学课程;练习体育;播放音乐;唱歌;跳舞,也在宗教节日中发挥积极作用。然后,人们根据年龄分成三组,组成“唱诗班”。献给不同的神(孩子们献给缪斯,年轻人献给阿波罗,老年人献给狄俄尼索斯)。因此,我们可以推断出柏拉图是支持终身学习概念的古希腊哲学家之一。通过各种知识、技能和素质的拓展。在我的论文中,我考察了柏拉图的目标,不同的内容?他提出的各种方法,以及这些选择的最终原因,都与他的哲学理论有关。最后,我将其与“终身学习”的概念进行比较。正如我们今天所理解的那样。
