The relation between Art and Truth in the history of western thought has been proposed since the advent of art theory in the Plato and Aristotle era. In the modern era, philosophers have also considered this relation. We know that there was a great deal of separation by Baumgarten, between Truth and Art with the advent of aesthetics in the modern era, and this separation got determined by Kant. But after him, thinkers such as Hegel tried to think about the relation of art and truth again. Of course, Hegel did not explicitly bring up the relationship between Art and Truth, but he considers Art as an appearance of "manifestations of the absolute" and dignity of its realization. Art is the first demonstration of absolute spirit. "What is the relationship between Art and Truth from Hegel's point of view? What is his perception and comprehension of the Truth? And how does he attempt to overcome the complete separation between Art and Truth (with his dialectics, of course) which has been brought by modern aesthetics?", are the main questions of this paper. The method of this research is the interpretative and content analysis based on the works of Hegel, his commentators, and other philosophers (related to the subject).

Plato is the first philosopher who states his political views in a sound philosophical system. The testimony to this statement is his two important works, i.e. Republic (Politeia) and Laws (Nomoi) in which one can trace his political views. Plato’s political writings indicate that his life as a great philosopher has never been devoid of the political and social issues of his time. The fusion of politics, metaphysics, ethics and education in Plato’s works demonstrate that he was involved in political and social problems in an important and eventful period. Since no thought is created without passing through the historical bottlenecks, an attempt is made here to examine the impacts of Greece’s eventful and flourishing period, i.e. the fifth century B.C., on Plato’s political views as the recognition of the effective factors influencing the views of a philosopher which will help the researcher understand the historical trends.
