A Dialectical Interpretation of the Concept of Art As Mimesis In the Republic
Idealistic Studies 21 (2-3):155-169 (1991)
Abstract
In Republic 376d, the interlocutors discuss the education of children. Much of this passage revolves around the role or function of poetry as mimesis in the polis or city-state. In 377b-378e some of the poetry of Homer, Hesiod and Pindar is deemed harmful and censored within the educational structure of the polis in virtue of its potentially deleterious effect on society.Author's Profile
