Few other semantic fields pervade Plato's oeuvre from the earliest to the latest works in
such a definitive and ambivalent way as that of mimesis. From the philosophy of language to
aesthetics and moral psychology from metaphysics to cosmology and theology: in a strikingly
large array of philosophical subject areas the semantics of mimesis have crucial significance
in Plato. The conference volume Platonic Mimesis Revisited offers a comprehensive and
context-sensitive re-examination of mimesis in all relevant dialogues. Unlike earlier
monographic studies it brings together a considerable variety of scholarly perspectives from
Philosophy and Classics thus providing a broad tableau of modern approaches to the topic.With
