Plato viewed imitation (and poetry, which is a type of imitation) as inherently deceptive. thus poetry could never teach. how did aristotle counter this? 1. by arguing that we must search for an alternative method of teaching, one that doesn't involve imitation. 2. by arguing that, realistically, imitation is how we as human beings learn. 3. by arguing that we either accept that imitation can convey information, or we reject the possibility of learning at all. 4. both 1 and 2 5. both 2 and 3 6. none of the above.
