“Plato’s Critique of Celebrity Culture: A Comparison of Book 10 and Modern Society”

For my term paper, I am looking at Plato’s book 10. I’m writing about how, in book 10, Plato talks about creation and imitation; he says that artists and poets don’t possess true knowledge but imitate. In today’s age, people look up to celebrities and get their knowledge from them. I’m comparing Plato’s boo10 to how people look up to false idols . Please compare how Plato Book 10 relates to today’s age in how people look up to and praise celebrities.  I am providing my book 10 notes. Please use my notes for the essay, and I will provide other sources to use on the relationship between people and celebrities.
