Aristotle answered Plato and refuted charge against poets. He redefined meanings of imitation. Regardless of that whole concept of idea and copy remained the same. In simple words, Aristotle agreed that the world was created from an idea and the world was its copy. He also agreed that a poet imitated the reality/nature but meaning of word imitation did not mean mere copy. He did not consider poetry twice away from reality Imitation is a Creative Process: Imitation is a creative process in the eyes of Aristotle. He links poetry with music instead of painting. He says that poetry is pleasant just like a flute’s sound that is full of harmony, therefore, it is not right to compare poets with painters and poetry with painting. A poet, further says Aristotle, does not present things as they appear but bestows them his imagination. Hence, poetry is not the process of seeing things and simply converting it to words; a poet reinvents things with his imagination and experiences. Aristotle’s concept/theory of imitation can be concluded in following words:- “objects which in themselves we view with disgust, we delight to contemplate when reproduced with minute fidelity: such as the forms of the most ignoble animals and dead bodies.” Aristotle – Poetics Thus, poetry is more philosophical, more conducive to understand than philosophy itself. He further says:- “idealised representation of character, emotion, action—under forms manifest in sense.” Aristotle – Poetics Thus, a poet does not tell a lie. He imitates things from his mental power which can touch the senses, therefore he brings the nature closer to reality. Three Modes of Imitation in Aristotle’s Concept/Theory: Aristotle’s concept/theory describes three modes of imitation. First chapter of the poetics is relevant in this regard, in which he tries to explain mode of imitation. Important portion is reproduced as under:- “Epic poetry and Tragedy, Comedy also and Dithyrambic poetry, as also the music of the flute and the lyre in most of their forms, are in their general conception modes of imitation. They differ, however, from one another in three respects—their medium, objects and the manner or mode of imitation, being in each case distinct.”
