Abstract
This paper presents an archaeological analysis of human mimesis in two stages: in the pre-Socratic arkhē and Platonic interpretation of it. the proposition of this paper is that mimesis is a human faculty crossed by the paradoxical condition from which it is possible to alienate and manipulate the consciences, but also is possible the creative use to produce the differences of similar and similarities of the different. the paradoxical condition prevents the reductionism of mimesis to a single perspective. this paper concluded with some critics references about the paradoxical nature of mimesis in our present.Downloads
