المحاكاة في العمل الفني بین أفلاطون وأرسطو

Abstract

The word simulation was at its beginning an idea issued by Plato in his book the virtuous city where he considered true art to be the one that moves away from simulation because this simulation distorts everything that is beautiful and departs from the original by degrees. Then Aristotle came and inherited the term simulation from his teacher Plato but he gave it a different meaning and was this difference in philosophical view if Plato had a mystical and purposive tendency. While Aristotle had an experimental tendency and although Aristotle he did not link the theory of simulation with the theory of simulation with the theory of simulation with the theory of Platonic ideals and after that the philosophical idea turned into a theory that is more closely related to contact literature.
