Abstract

abstract:Plato's Republic X attack on imitative poetry is based in the metaphysics of appearance, since appearances are the objects and products of imitation. I offer a new reading, showing that Plato's account coherently introduces appearances as a new type of item, distinct from Forms and sensible particulars, and applies beyond imitation to a broad range of appearances. Focusing on the importance of perspective to Plato's reasoning, I argue that an appearance is a relation that comes about between a material particular and an apprehending subject. Ordinarily, appearances are transparent: they confer determinate awareness on the subject, but are not the objects of our awareness insofar as we are appeared to. This reading resolves longstanding obscurities, grounds an improved account of imitation, and shows that Plato here presents the cornerstone of a general theory of appearance.

《X共和国的表象形而上学》（596a5–598d7）

柏拉图的《理想国X》对模仿诗歌的抨击是建立在表象形而上学的基础上的，因为表象是模仿的对象和产物。我提供了一种新的解读，表明柏拉图的叙述连贯地将现象作为一种新的项目引入，不同于形式和感性细节，并超越模仿应用于广泛的现象。聚焦于观点对柏拉图推理的重要性，我认为表象是一种关系，它产生于特定的物质和理解主体之间。通常情况下，表象是透明的:它们赋予主体一定的意识，但就我们的表象而言，它们并不是我们意识的客体。这篇阅读解决了长期以来的模糊，为改进的模仿理论奠定了基础，并表明柏拉图在这里提出了一般现象理论的基石。
