一从古至今,哲学家都体现出他们与艺术家、艺术的密切联系。在古希腊,柏拉图的著作反映出他对艺术家及其社会角色的矛盾心理。据说,他是画家和雕塑家工作室中的常客,在诗歌等文学艺术方面也是知识渊博的学者。他用他们最原初的希腊语写成的对话录,我们除了对其文学韵味进行鉴赏之外,还可以对其哲学内涵进行沉思。他在《法律篇》中宣称,一个不会跳舞的人,就不能被认为是受过良好教育的人。但是他发现,艺术家的知识的缺乏是由于依赖情绪而非理性, Since ancient times, philosophers have shown their close ties with artists and the arts.
