In his new ebook printed by Phrase on Hearth, Magnificence &
Imitation: A Philosophical Reflection on the Arts, thinker
and novelist Daniel McInerny argues for a restoration of the
Aristotelian understanding of artwork as essentially imitative or
mimetic. Extra boldly, he claims that this imitation is narrative
and ethical in nature, even in artwork varieties that aren’t sometimes
thought of storytelling arts.
On this episode Daniel introduces this idea of mimesis, after
which there’s a strong back-and-forth between Daniel and Thomas on
whether or not ethical narrative is de facto the first goal of arts like
portray and music.
