The study consists in investigate how aesthetics arises as significant element in the composition of the dialogue Republic. It pass through this work from the beginning to the end framing it in beauty. There are numerous passages that mention the archaic poets, it worships the music, as such as the art of the Muses, the appreciation of harmony, the rhythm, by the symmetry, finally, there is in the Republic a aesthetic care in its architecture. Having seen, then, that beauty occupies a considerable place in the dialogue, we look for to valorize it and put it in evidence from the artistic, to forge a path that lead us, increasingly, to face the beauty as something not be restricted to the sensible, since, in the case of Plato, the most splendorous beauty lies in the intelligible. In this sense, we propose to take the Platonic metaphysics of ideas as intelligible aesthetic, aiming at finding the beautiful supersensible possible be contemplated by the philosophical intellect. This is because the ideas are intelligible forms , which are shown in its perfection to the intellect. The idea is essentially one single unit, which sensible objects imitates and receives their being. In other words, the idea is the aspect that presents itself to the intellect of the philosopher. And with this intention of taking Platonic metaphysics as intelligible aesthetic, we made some considerations about image and vision . Such considerations follow in the direction of taking the image as a metaphor, as figurative language used as a resource to leads to souls to intelligible, and vision, means intellectual vision, a philosophical view. Finally, we will see, the activity of philosopher will consist to see the beautiful scenery of the ideas in intelligible.
