Summary/Abstract: The question of the disputable co-occurrence of comprehension and perception has seen through the history of aesthetical thinking. This confl ict is actually in a close relationship with the renewing question of art’s legitimation, which is also current in our days. In this dispute there always occurs the problem of art with its double sided nature: the spiritual and the sensual one. There is a side which addresses the spirit, the rational comprehension, while the other one addresses the senses. Those who think of arts have always had to face the permanent presence of this double sidedness. In the present study I am going to research the way of how this problem occurred in Plato’s conception. In the second part of study I try to examine Plato’s conception about the art.
