Critical Analysis of Aristotle’s Epistemology of Aesthetics
Keywords:
Aristotle, Aesthetics, Imitations, Epistemology, Justification, True Beliefs.Abstract
The aim of study is to describe Epistemology of Aesthetics in Aristotle
theory. Aristotle theory of Aesthetes and Art was designed at imitating or
the concept of Mimeses. His approach is totally opposite to Plato‟s theory
of Imitations. Plato has completely rejected the Epistemology of
Aesthetics. Plato believes that Art is the Imitations of objects; it is not
based on reality. On the other hand, Aristotle believes that, the imitations
of objects are not only providing knowledge relatively it is more useful for
comprehending knowledge. We not only learn from imitations, but
Imitations is the most important aspect of developing virtue.
