Truth in drama
pp. 169-179
Résumé
In this essay, I argue that Paul Ricoeur's theories of mimesis and metaphor provide important resources with which one can talk sensibly about the truth of a dramatic work These theories give one grounds for claiming that the truth of a dramatic work is positively correlated with its importance. Conversely, the trivial work is one which lacks truth.
