Add Tag | Summary: | This article revisits Plato’s concept of mimesis in a rereading of José Carlos Somoza’s text, La caverna de las ideas, from the point of view of the classic referents that have been used to develop the motive of knowledge, analyze the different dimensions of its construction as presented in Plato’s philosophy and how they are recreated in the novel conceptualized as eidesis, a fictional text that contains an enigma as the structuring element of another work of fiction. Emphasis is placed on the cathartic function of art and in the non-exclusive relation between beauty and truth to prove that a rereading of classic works allows us to always distill innovative elements, a challenge, a task that plunges us into an avid reading adventure in search of signification. |
