| Summary: | The dance (choreia) takes an important place in education in Plato’s Laws. Thanks to the rhythm, dance substitutes order to child gesticulations and disorder and brings calming but also structuring effects to troubled souls. Dance is a gift of the gods. For a while, dance enchants the painful daily life of men during religious feasts. But if Plato places choreia at the center of his city, it is because dance becomes a powerful help to stabilise politically the community, with its capacity to create order. Dans les Lois de Platon, la danse (choreia) prend une place importante au sein de l'éducation. Substituant l'ordre aux gesticulations et aux mouvements désordonnés de l'enfance grâce au pouvoir du rythme, elle produit des effets apaisants mais aussi structurants au sein de l'âme agitée ou tourmentée. Don des dieux, elle enchante pour un temps le quotidien laborieux des hommes lors des fêtes religieuses. Mais si Platon la met au coeur de sa cité, c'est surtout qu'avec sa capacité à créer de l'ordre, elle devient un formidable outil de stabilisation politique. |
