Answer 2

Plato is the first significant figure in Western philosophy literature. He is moralistic,a  rationalist, and an idealist. Instead of the world of aspect that we put in our senses, he locates the truth in what he calls "ideas" or "form. In other words, he believes in reason and breaks this universe further into ideal and real world.

Explanation:

• The ideal world is the world where there are thoughts, but the actual reality is unreal, false and illusory. Plato argues that the concept of "form" is formless in itself, but set. Idea is an archetype that is often the same.
• For example, while the size of ripe apples is different, such a size difference is only the appearance therefore it is unreal. But all apples have equal' sweetness,' and the same -its idea, quality and reality. In the world of appearance truth can not be found except in the perfect world. Plato is a dualistic who trusts two realities –sensory world of appearnce and an ideal world of thought.
• The world around us is the world of imitation or the shadow of the perfect future. If a poet imitates this universe, his creation is clearly twice removed from reality. They are not motivated by divine inspiration so that they are forced to use their own reasoning. Moreover, Plato stressed that the poets possess the madness and are not in control of themselves when they write. The creation of a poet provides (feeds) emotion and enthusiasm, generating cowardice that eventually disrupts the Republic's order. For Plato, literature is appropriate only when it creates bravery, honesty, faith, justice and so forth.
• For Plato, poets should not use their intent, while philosophers use their intention to get the truth so that they are closer to fact. For Plato, art is an emulation of the phenomenon universe, which in itself reflects the conceptual universe. This is also an imitation of an imitation already being a phtocopy. In the world of ideas Plato says artist/art is twice taken from reality. Furthermore, Plato's artist is suspended by reason or afflicted by insanity or not of his own control. Plato views it as detrimental to society and speaks about his ideal republic's banishment of poets.
• Poets can't be good teachers, according to Plato. They are responsible for attributing individual attributes, attitudes and follies to gods and goddesses. Thus they discover the unseen nature of the gods and thereby endanger a state's well-being by fostering disbelief in the Supreme Being of Heaven. Therefore the artist is Thus Plato proposes a ban on the artist.
