PSYCHO-AND BIO-CYBERNETICS IN PLATO'S ACOUSTICS AND THEORY OF EDUCATION

Resumen

IN PLATO'S WORK, Physiology and Physics are closely connected both in his Theory of Psychology and in his Theory of Education. According to Plato, man is a unified whole being subject to external influences, and respond ing to them accordingly. Under those circumstances the human psychosomatic factor of connections is understood to be autoregulated reacting against external influences. On the other hand, the above mentioned structure of man permits his externel educative regulation. Knowing, thus, the rhythmic reactions of the human constitution as well as those of his psychitm, it is possible to react educatively on the latter. In which case the rôle of Cybernetics consists of the right formation of shapes through which the external influence on the human element will be achieved according to the best possible way. but depending on the circumstances. To make this clear we shall mention a couple of examples, taken from the regions of Acoustics and Physiology, as Plato understands them.
