Plato's Philosophy:
-Our senses in this world, are simply an imitation of other imitations
-All stories are re-tellings of other stories
-He believed storytellers were either:
1. Liars
2. Derangers
3. Antifesturs
-Northrop Frye would strongly agree with this statement
-Plato also speaks poorly of the Gods
Example: If someone were to draw a picture of a chair, Plato would say that is an imitation of a chair. And the chair that the individual was imitating, is also an imitation.
If I could ask Plato a question: How would you draw a chair, and from what source would you base your imitation from?
