  abstract = {The representation of reality is a fundamental concept in the perception of the world. Its historical consideration leads to an understanding of historical and contemporary culture. In this paper we specifically investigate the anthropometric stage of cultural development as a historical world view. We define this stage on the basis of René Girard's hypotheses on the origin of culture, and we isolate its principles. Next, we consider the function of art as the representation of cultural values. We investigate the three major motives of artistic representation in the anthropometric stage, i.e. beauty, dramatization and mimesis . We show how and why these motives play an essential part in the obfuscation and explanation of the origin of culture. Finally, we show how these developments are dealt with in the aesthetics of Plato and Aristotle.},
