Stephen Conway 1996 Plato‚ Aristotle‚ and Mimesis As literary critics‚ Plato and Aristotle disagree profoundly about the value of art in human society. Plato attempts to strip artists of the power and prominence they enjoy in his society‚ while Aristotle tries to develop a method of inquiry to determine the merits of an individual work of art.
