Abstract
A question that challenges the minds of Plato and Rorty. That is, which poet or philosopher has the most influence in intellectual education and practice in the utopia? Platonic utopia based on rational criteria; Medina is a utopia ruled by philosophers, not poets, and Rorty utopia whose allusions are writers and poets, not philosophers. Plato and Rorty speak of a utopia that one does not allow poets and the other does not allow philosophers. The Greek thinker Plato portrays an utopia tied to a negative view of poetry and a positive view of philosophy and philosophies. It is unnecessary. He spoke of the "ancient contradiction" of poetry and philosophy, and took poetry out of the circle of "like" and "no", because poetry and poetry do not confront man with realities worthy of real life, therefore; He drives Homer out of his city to clarify the task of other low-ranking poets. The amazing effect of poetry on human consciousness can not be easily denied, but one should be careful which poetry is effective in educating the human soul and the good of Medina and causes misguidance.
For Rorty, the only thing that can be expected from philosophy is to systematically summarize the moral reputation of a society. The postmodern philosopher Rorty and the ancient Greek philosopher Plato have similar and different ways of forming the utopia.
