Re: Plato Republic and Censorship? Any one know?
Are you talking about his banning poets from his ideal republic?

Re: Plato Republic and Censorship? Any one know?
Quote:
our assignment below Book One of Plato's Republic (pg. 186) Socrates expresses surprise that Chepalus (his partner in conversation, who is a fairly well-to-do businessman) is somewhat indifferent to money. He says that he has long thought that people who make their own fortunes (rather than inherit them) love money as much as writers love their poems and parents love their children. Consider this statement in light of Socrates claims in Book 3 (begins pg. 238) of the Republic that "storytellers" such as Homer need to be controlled. (Read all of Book 3 of Plato's Republic). Book 2 begins this discussion of the censorship of Homer, so if time permits, you might wish to read the first 3 books of the Republic, considered by many to be Plato's greatest dialog!
