Plato’s Republic (Education)
Education is very important to us, as the Tabula Rasa of john locke, when we are born to this world the we have nothing but a void paper, nothing but as we go on, we experienced something, we experienced those our mind filled with words in a paper. Related to education we are incapable to learn everything without a process of learning, through that process we can point out what is true or false, we can say that this thing is real because we learn through the process of education that this is true its real.
In the academy of plato at the age of ten-years-old they are forcedly to enter the academy inside in the academy there’s a level or a stage to passed the level you must take the exam. Theres a system. And until they reach the highest level all passer whether a female or a male they become a philosopher king and they have a right to govern the state. So in this case education is very important to order the state they must the intellect to pass a law to keep the state well-ordered. In case of the guardians, education is very important, they must be gymnastike, intellect of course because as i have said a while a go, its needed to well ordered the state not just for being a strong but also for being intellect.
Plato’s belief that talent was distributed non-genetically and thus must be found in children born to all classes moves us away from aristocracy, and Plato builds on this by insisting that those suitably gifted are to be trained by the state so that they may be qualified to assume the role of a ruling class. What this establishes is essentially a system of selective public education premised on the assumption that an educated minority of the population are, by virtue of their education (and inborn educability), sufficient for healthy governance.
