Invention and Reality. The Notion of Mimesis like Creative Imitation in Paul Ricoeur
Main Article Content
Abstract
Many of Ricoeur’s proposals concerning literature, frequently extensible to his theses on language in general, or depending on them, have its core in a notion of mimesis originated in Aristotle’s Poetics. It is not just a question of ideas related to a literary theory or to a philosophy of language, but they enter deeply into the whole of his thought, establishing links between different level and questions, which can lead to an ethical reflection, aim at the way of an ontology, or open a hermeneutic horizon. I will try to reconstruct the conception of the mimesis in Ricoeur, wondering about its scope, its meaning and its limitations.
