In the Laws, Plato theorizes citizenship as simultaneously a
political, ethical, and aesthetic practice. His reflection on
citizenship finds its roots in a descriptive psychology of human
experience, with sentience and, above all, volition seen as the
primary targets of a lifelong training in the values of
citizenship. In the city of Magnesia described in the Laws eros for
civic virtue is presented as a motivational resource not only
within the reach of the 'ordinary' citizen, but also factored by
default into its educational system. Supporting a vision of
'perfect citizenship' based on an internalized obedience to the
laws, and persuading the entire polity to consent willingly to it,
requires an ideology that must be rhetorically all-inclusive. In
this city 'ordinary' citizenship itself will be troped as a
performative action: Magnesia's choral performances become a
fundamental channel for shaping, feeling and communicating a strong
sense of civic identity and unity."
