Plato on Imitation and Art | Mimesis | Literary Criticism

In today's video, we are talking about Plato's views on Art. When we are studying Literary Criticism, we cannot ignore Classical Criticism.
Plato on Imitation and Art Summary will help you understand the views of Plato. Plato said 4 distinct things about Art.
Being a philosopher, Plato's views on art was not artistic but philosophical. Plato philosophy stressed on the importance of knowing the Ultimate Reality. Plato said art is imitation and therefore deceptive. According to Plato mimesis meant 'making a copy of some original'. In order to understand Plato mimesis theory, you have to take a look at Plato theory of forms.
Plato theory of forms summary will help you understand how art is copy of copy. Plato theory of forms explained in detail in this video.
Plato political thought is explained in Republic. Plato banished poets, dramatists and minstrels fr his Ideal State as they were misrepresenters of Truth. Plato also believed Art results in immorality.
Aristotle studied in Plato's Academy and later Aristotle restored the value and dignity of poetry and tragedy.
