GARCIA, Jorge Tomás. La incapacidad mayéutica del arte en la sociedad platónica. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2014, vol.28, n.55, pp.255-280. ISSN 1982-596X.

The relationship between Plato and the art of his time is a well known subject for decades. While it seems clear that Plato established a perpetual definition of what is art and the creative process in ancient Greece, however we must pay attention to the role that art had in Plato’s ideal society. Why art? In its education process - based on maieutic as a fundamental learning motive - art is a subject to opinion and censorship of other empirical sciences. This article aims to evaluate the true educational relevance that Plato had artistic process through a critical analysis of society presented by the Athenian philosopher.

Keywords : Plato; Art; Painting; Education; Maieutic; Censorship.
