1) what is your understanding about Aristotle's Poetics
Plato was a well known philosopher and critic teacher of Aristotle and students of Socrates in middle of B.C.E in Athen Greek and mostly influence by his teachers Socrates usually Plato uses his own philosophy in his writing and raised question against ancient writing and other variety of things he himself as a great poet and born to be having dramatic qualities
Although in literature philosopher has highest value as such has Plato but he attacks on the Idea of mimesis that means imitation . He raised questions against how they are writing on illusion and it leads people in the wrong direction because they have own imitation in different perspective to see the nature.
Nonetheless poet constantly uses the illusion and imitation of nature that is not actually based on the moral idea but it relates to the falsehood Plato said that poetry is immoral and further defined as philosophy is far more better than the poetry art persist with the illusion and that appears in an imitation of an imitation in Plato's theory of mimesis
Aristotle's reply to Plato's change
Plato says that art being the imitation of the actual is removed from the truth . It only gives the likeness of a thing in concrete and the likeness is always less than real but Plato fails to explain that art also gives something more which is absent in the actual . The artist does not simply reflect the real in the manner of a slavish imitation of reality literature is not the exact reproduction of life in all its totality.
Mimesis is a term used in philosophy and literary criticism it describes the process of imitation or mimicry through which artists portey and interpret the world. Mimesis in not a literary device or techniques but rather a way of thinking about a work of art.
