Aristotle & Plato on Art
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that examines the attitudes of Plato and Aristotle toward art. The writer argues that while they both made the fundamental assumption that art is a form of mimesis, the imitative function that is inherent in all forms of art provoked Plato's disdain, but provoked Aristotle's curiosity. An examination of their views demonstrates that Aristotle carried his philosophy of art beyond the concepts put forth by Plato. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Artful Definitions of the Minoan Society
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp). When we try to investigate Minoan society
we encounter a number of problems regarding the
evidence. Because the climate is frequently wet,
most of the perishable evidence has disappeared
with the weather. This makes it hard to construct a
picture of Minoan society. We have some knowledge
about Minoan people, of course, but this is very
fragmentary: only little aspects of the Minoan
social life are ever revealed at one time, mainly
because the written materials are so few, and
because scholars can read only a very little of
this written evidence. Yet, it appears from their
archeological art, that the Minoans as a society
were much more advanced than others of their time.
