Beauty and Imitation - Chapter 1 - Art as Imitation

Описание: This video summarizes Chapter 1 of Beauty and Imitation: A Philosophical Reflection on the Arts, by Daniel McInerny.

In this first chapter McInerny argues that art is all about mimesis - imitation - which is not the same thing as exact copying. Art presents something to us for contemplation.
