Without exploring what has come before us, one is of infantile character. Aristotle's Poetics defined for us our modern appreciation of the arts as a real sensory expression filled with our deepest human emotions. There are those who believe, as Plato and Socrates enumerated, that the arts are lies, attempts to portray a meager perception allowed by the human mind. In Aristotle's Poetics, the arts, themselves, communicate a truth and reality all there own which speaks directly to the emotive and rational parts of our human mind.
