Summary of chapter 1 of Belagia Goulimari's Literary Criticism and Theory: From Plato to Postcolonialism:
Mime -sis
Plato and the poet
Plato’s dialogues (Ion, Republic, Phaedrus) founded Western literary theory, critiquing poetry as irrational divine inspiration lacking knowledge. In Ion, poetry is an unreflective chain of inspiration; in Republic, poets imitate deceptive appearances, threatening ethical order by stirring unrestrained emotions. Phaedrus critiques writing as a pharmakon while valuing dialogic philosophy. Later thinkers responded diversely: Rousseau and Wordsworth saw emotion as ethical growth; Nietzsche rejected Plato’s life-denial; Pater valued aesthetic form; Huxley showed literary censorship’s emptiness. Marxists like Brecht and Benjamin saw art’s critical potential; Derrida and Deleuze subverted Plato’s binaries through pharmakon and simulacrum; Kristeva reimagined chora as a maternal semiotic space shaping poetic language.
