Plato musical education
The accurately education of young according to Plato (427-347 BC) is fundamental to building a state of ideal type and therefore should be exercised with music, dances, choruses that are union of song and dance, but these arts should not be based on pleasure on deceptive imitation of reality of the senses and aim mainly for educational purposes. The construction of this "utopian" state is an objective of the Athenian philosopher, who will try to achieve for most of his lifetime risking the life, and Justice and the Supreme Good is the very foundation on which are hold a series of laws that regulate the coexistence of citizens in a harmonious and musical mode.
