Hello,
My name is Michael Bromberg and I am a fourth year philosophy major. I love art in all respects, but especially film, tv, and music videos.
Though my understanding of mimesis is not quite as robust as I would like, I feel that as a whole it directly correlates with one of the main reasons humans have always had a passion for art. Through imitation, we are able to make light of the various harsh realities of life. I would argue that people inherently know that the "poet" is not really trying to adequately expose the truth, but rather that he wants to put some kind of personal spin on it that still remains faithful and relatable to the actual content. The "truth" comes not from the exact imitation of something, but rather the analysis that art inherently provides.
I'm excited to read everyone's post.
Hope all is well with everyone
