플라톤의 藝術敎育論에 있어서 舞踊과 體育의 關係

Abstract

Although dance is a separate art genre, that is currently taught as part of physical education, not as an art genre, which has been a drag on the development of dance education as education of art. To remedy the situation, what problems the field of dance are confronted with and what trigger such problems should accurately be checked, and the unique educational characteristics of dance that are differentiated from those of physical education should be analyzed to redefine the relationship between dance and physical education. There may be various reasons about the fact that dance is merely instructed as part of physical education, and it seems that one of the reasons is rooted in how to interpret Platon's philosophy, an ancient Greek philosopher. In his book, dance was viewed as art yet incorporated into physical education at the same time, and dance and physical education have sometimes been thought to belong to the same field on the ground of that. However, Platon's mention admit of different interpretations, and that could lend credibility to the argument that dance and physical education should separately be instructed as what respectively belong to the fields of art and exercise. The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of dance education in Platon's theories of art and education from an artistic perspective. In relation to his art theory, mimetic art and inspirational art were first discussed, and then mousike education and gymnastike education were explained, which belonged to his educational theory. And the reason why he incorporated dance into mousike and gymnastike was explored from an artistic perspective. The major findings of the study were as follows: Dance and physical education have something in common, as both use the movement of the body and thereby make it possible to make a physical development and improve thymoeides. And rhythm that is one of the components of dance serves to heighten the efficiency of dance, and physical education can take advantage of that efficiency of dance. However, dance is mousike, namely art, which is created by inspiration, imagination and creativity, and mousike education is mental education to step up character building, and the characteristics of it are differentiated from those of physical education that aims to improve logistikon, part of human nature, to grasp the truth of the world. Therefore, it's possible to attain the objects of education when dance is taught as art, not as part of physical education. Moreover, the educational value of dance as art education could be highlighted when learners rely on their own imagination, creativity and inspiration to perceive and express themselves and the world in their own way, which are the unique characteristics of art education, instead of merely copying the movements of others. When Platon's mention is interpreted from an artistic standpoint, it is evident that dance and physical education should be instructed in the fields of art and exercise respectively, though there are something common between the two.
