dc.description.abstractIn this seminal discussion of the relationship between law and literature, between the philosophers and the poets, Socrates and his interlocutors decide to banish the artists from their own intricately worked-out—if ironically imagined—just state. The main trouble is that ‘‘all the poets from Homer downwards have no grasp of truth but merely produce a superficial likeness of any subject they treat;’’ to the extent that ‘‘the artist knows little or nothing about the subjects he represents and that the art of representation is something that has no serious value.’’
