So an imitator has neither knowledge nor correct belief aboutwhether the things he makes are good or bad
if that is so, why does it matter? socrates claims that a painter is simply an imitator, so why would an imitator need to know the intricacies of an object they are painting or if that object is good or bad?
Certainly not.
so they are discussing the nature of who is consider a creator? it seems that they consider a craftsman someone who physically makes the piece, and that you are classified as an imitator based on if you replicate the work?
a human beingwho knows every craft as well as everything else anyone knows, and thatthere is nothing of which he does not have a more exact knowledge thananyone else, we should assume we are talking to a naïve fellow. He hasbeen deceived, it seems, by an encounter with some sort of sorcerer orimitator, whom he therefore considers to be all-wise. But that is becauseof his own inability to distinguish between knowledge, lack of knowledge,and imitation
are they trying to insinuate that an artist is simply an imitator that fools a viewer that they are a craftsman? as well as a viewer being a fool for believing a painter to be a craftsman?
