DANCEST 805 Lecture Notes - Lecture 35: Main Plot, Oedipus Complex, Gender Role
Document Summary
It"s actually the case through the discourse of love and the discourse of politics on the queen, they combine. This is the way love is being dealt with in renaissance time. In renaissance time thought was dominated by plato and aristotle as it still is up today. They tackled a basic philosophical question still being asked to the present day: His teaching was that the world we have here is everything that there is. There is only the world that we see! There is a transcendent world (world of ideas). There is the perfect idea of the horses, the perfection, but all other horses are copies of this perfect design. Perfection is only be seen in the world beyond. Our world is just an inferior copy of the world of ideas! Perfect forms only exist in the world of ideas. The things we see are only copies of these. They never correspond completely to these perfect forms.
