  1. „Elektronen und was es da noch geben mag...“: Zwei Briefe von Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff an Aby Warburg.Sebastian Zerhoch - 2023 - Philologus: Zeitschrift für Antike Literatur Und Ihre Rezeption 166 (2):282-296.
    This article presents an edition with introduction and commentary of two unpublished letters that Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff wrote to the art historian and cultural scholar Aby Warburg in the 1920 s. The edition completes a correspondence that includes a letter from Warburg that has already been published several times. The two letters cast light on the hitherto barely known relation of Wilamowitz to Warburg himself and to his Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek in Hamburg. They centre on the Warburg Library’s special research interest, (...)

  • Ideality in Theatre. Or a reverse evolution of mimesis from Plato to Diderot.María J. Ortega Máñez - 2017 - Aisthesis: Pratiche, Linguaggi E Saperi Dell’Estetico 10 (1):107-116.
    This paper deals with a development of the ancient thought on mimesis in its modern reception as regards a certain idea of theatre. It defends the hypothesis that the figure of the character, as set up in Diderot’s Paradoxe sur le comédien, has its source in a curious reversal of the Platonic mimesis. After presenting the main tenets of Plato’s reflection on mimesis and of Diderot’s theory on character, showing their convergences and contrasts, it is analyzed how such a conceptual (...)

  • Seeing through Plato’s Looking Glass. Mythos and Mimesis from Republic to Poetics.Andrea Capra - 2017 - Aisthesis: Pratiche, Linguaggi E Saperi Dell’Estetico 10 (1):75-86.
    This paper revisits Plato’s and Aristotle’s views on mimesis with a special emphasis on mythos as an integral part of it. I argue that the Republic ’s notorious “mirror argument” is in fact ad hominem : first, Plato likely has in mind Agathon’s mirror in Aristophanes’ Thesmoforiazusae, where tragedy is construed as mimesis ; second, the tongue-in-cheek claim that mirrors can reproduce invisible Hades, when read in combination with the following eschatological myth, suggests that Plato was not committed to a (...)

  • Drawing Inferences: Thinking with 6B.Sabine Ammon - 2019 - Philosophy and Technology 32 (4):591-612.
    This article discusses the epistemology of design as a process, arguing specifically that sketching and drawing are essential modes of thinking and reasoning. It demonstrates that the commonly accepted notion of a spontaneous and intuitive vision in the mind’s eye—encapsulated in the cliché of the napkin sketch—obscures the exploratory inferences that are made while scribbling with a pencil on a sheet of paper. The draughtsperson, along with their work tools, modes of notation, specific techniques, and epistemic strategies as well as (...)
