Realism and anti-realism III: Plato, idealist or realist?

Students are often confused about the question whether Plato was an "idealist" or a "realist". He has this theory of "Ideas" (or "Forms") - in contrast with "material" things - which seems to suggest he is an "idealist". However, he also says that these Ideas are "real" which seems to make him a "realist". Enjoy Jan Academy!

Jacques Rancière: The Reality Effect and the Politics of Fiction - ICI Berlin 2009

Full lecture available at: www.ici-berlin.org Also visit: video.ici-berlin.org Taken from the ICI Berlin Lecture, organized by the Sfb 626 in cooperation with the ICI Berlin. Roland Barthes' well-known description of the "effect of the real" provides a synthesis of the modernist logic that denounces realism in novel writing and the privilege that the latter gives to description. Rancière shows how this logic misses its target because it cannot capture the very heart of the realist excess the rupture of the representational logic of the novel as organic whole, and of fiction as a well-ordered cause-effect development of the action. Modernist anti-realism might therefore be the attempt to hide the contradiction that inheres in every artistic and political strategy of modernity. © ICI Berlin 2009.
