Also, just like for Plato, my Ancient and Medieval World
History book offers an explanation on Aristole:
“Aristotle did not accept Plato’s theory of ideal forms.
Instead he believed that by examining individual objects, we can perceive their
form and arrive at universal principles, but that these principles do not exist
as a separate higher world of reality beyond material things but are part of
these things themselves. Aristotle’s interest, then, lay in analyzing and
classifying things based on thorough research and investigation. “
Therefore, Aristotle believed all art was
representational. Having a separate reading on Aristotle helped me to
understand his theory much more than I did before.
