«Imitación y experiencia» is the philosophy essay by Javier Gomá Lanzón, published by Editorial Pre-Textos in paperback (416 pages, in Spanish).
The essay studies imitation as a central idea of Western culture from the Greeks to the eighteenth century, when modernity displaced it by imposing the principle of the subject's autonomy. From that crisis onward, it proposes a general theory of imitation that revalues notions such as model, example and prototype.
The work, published in 2003 by Editorial Pre-Textos, belongs to the Ensayo collection of the Pre-Textos imprint. It includes bibliographical references.
For readers interested in philosophy and the history of ideas, especially in the dialogue between classical heritage and modernity.
Javier Gomá Lanzón is a Spanish philosopher, writer and essayist, author of the Tetralogía de la ejemplaridad and a theatrical trilogy. He is also the Executive Director of the Juan March Foundation and, since 2024, Director of the Chair of Exemplarity | CUNEF Universidad.
