 About Plato 關(guān)于柏拉圖

     Plato 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 learning in the Western world. Along with his mentor, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle, Plato helped to lay the foundations of Western philosophy and science. In the famous words of A.N. Whitehead:
     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 sophistication as a writer is evident in his Socratic dialogues; thirty-six dialogues and thirteen letters have been ascribed to him. Plato's writings have been published in several fashions; this has led to several conventions regarding the naming and referencing of Plato's texts.
     Plato's dialogues have been used to teach a range of subjects, including philosophy, logic, ethics, rhetoric, and mathematics.
     柏拉圖是西方客觀唯心主義的創(chuàng)始人,其哲學(xué)體系博大精深,對(duì)其教學(xué)思想影響尤甚。柏拉圖認(rèn)為世界由"理念世界"和"現(xiàn)象世界"所組成。理念的世界是真實(shí)的存在,永恒不變,而人類感官所接觸到的這個(gè)現(xiàn)實(shí)的世界,只不過是理念世界的微弱的影子,它由現(xiàn)象所組成,而每種現(xiàn)象是因時(shí)空等因素而表現(xiàn)出暫時(shí)變動(dòng)等特征。由此出發(fā),柏拉圖提出了一種理念論和回憶說的認(rèn)識(shí)論,并將它作為其教學(xué)理論的哲學(xué)基礎(chǔ)。
     但是,柏拉圖夸大了理性發(fā)展在教學(xué)中的意義。他主張的通過回憶和沉思冥想以致知的教學(xué)過程,反映了其對(duì)掌握知識(shí)理解中的唯心主義傾向。特別是他把理性絕對(duì)化、孤立化,使感覺和理性之間對(duì)立起來的思想,以致成了中世紀(jì)經(jīng)院派教條主義教學(xué)方法的理論基礎(chǔ)。他有一句名言:不知道自己的無知,乃是雙倍的無知。
