Mímesis, a fonte: entre o tampo da educação e o véu da arte

Abstract

The present work, conceived between a philosophy of technique and the education as a project without compromise to the traditional forces of the identity principle, aims to study the phenomenon of mimesis in order to conceive it as a kind of “source” from which both art and education can flow. It begins with a questioning of the inherited concept of 'reality'; studying Plato and Aristotle's conceptions of mimesis, he suggests a concept of mimesis as a 'first imagination' or nexus between art and nature, until he devotes himself to a meditation more attentive to the 'nexus', which, which, originating, can only be something like a nexus from which to draw all the connections that could be made between art and nature. That is, in this text we may touch, perhaps, for the first time in that concept that would become central to our thinking, and which we here only refer to it by the term "divine", understood not as an extrahuman or transcendent reality, but as its own element - immanent - of the human being.
