| Summary, etc. | In the 789th passage of his Laws Plato uses the verbs peripatein and ferein when referring to the respective activities of pregnant women and nurses. The study of these two verbs is centered on the positive effects of walk and carrying on embryos and newborns. Pregnant women are required to walk because this helps to ‘mould’ the soft body of the future baby. Such movements should control the moods and frights of the fetus. Plato seems to be repeating Hippocrates’ theses on the contribution of walking to the physical and sanitary formation of the human body. However, what makes this philosopher’s approach a peculiar one lies in his advocating pregnant women’s walking with a view to having the children in the womb benefit from it. Child-carrying which is imposed upon the sturdy nurses of the ideal city in Plato’s Laws is a physical ordeal that protects from deformity the young and soft limbs of children under three. Finally, in both prenatal and postnatal periods, Plato has strongly advocated pregnant women’s walking and child-carrying because of the physical and psychological advantages infants derive from them. As a matter of fact, the eugenics that is extolled by Plato in the ideal city of his Laws is the main prop of the pedagogical orientation he is advocating. |
