REVISITING THE ‘BANISHMENT’ - A REVISED LOOK AT THE BANISHMENT OF POETS FROM PLATO’S REPUBLIC

R. JAISRI & DR. D. E. BENET

ABSTRACT

This paper re-examines Plato’s famous banishment of poets from the Republic, challenging the established view that Plato is fundamentally hostile to poetry and artistic imagination. Situating Plato’s critique within the ethical and educational framework of the dialogue, the paper argues that the exclusion of certain forms of poetry arises not from aesthetic prejudice but from a sustained concern with moral formation and the psychology of the soul. In classical Athens, poetry functioned as a primary educator, shaping emotional habits long before the development of rational judgment. Plato’s anxiety, therefore, is directed at the formative power of mimetic poetry, particularly its tendency to cultivate emotional excess and habituate disorder within the soul. By tracing the argument across Books II, III, and X of the Republic, and clarifying its psychological and metaphysical foundations, the paper shows that the banishment is conditional, provisional, and ultimately ethical in intent. Plato emerges not as a censor of beauty, but as a philosopher attempting to safeguard the harmony and sovereignty of the soul.

Keywords  Plato; Republic; poetry; banishment of poets; mimesis; moral education; psychology of the soul; aesthetics and ethics
