Introduction - a podcast by Simone Niehoff

This paper introduces the conference subject from an interdisciplinary perspective. Manuel Mühlbacher gives an overview of the question ranging from Aristoteles’ thesis that human mimesis involves understanding to echoes of the same line of argument in eighteenth-century philosophy. Katerina Kr?al traces the shift of the perspective in the human-animal divide since Darwin’s theory of evolution. Antonio Chemotti shifts the focus to the question of animal mimesis in music from the Middle Ages and discusses the role animals play in origin myths of music.
