- Title
EL DISCURSO DE LA MIMESIS EN EL LIBRO X DE LA REPÚBLICA DE PLATÓN: SIMILITUDES Y DIFERENCIAS CON LOS LIBROS II-III.
- Authors
García, Jorge Tomás
- Abstract
The main objective of the article is to highlight the similarities and differences in the way in which Book X and Books II and III of The Republic treat the concept of mimesis. This analysis is essential in clarifying Plato's global conception of the true role of the arts in his political and social vision of the State. Such an approach requires a detailed analysis of Book X of The Republic, the only work in which Plato looks at the problem of art and society in depth. The results are surprisingly clear. Rather than attributing corruption and the dangers of art to one artist or school in particular, he refers to the mimetic institution of art as an imitation of an imitation.
