Imitation: Or The Mimetic Force In Nature And Human Nature is a book written by Richard Steel in 1900. The book explores the concept of imitation or mimicry as a powerful force in both nature and human behavior. Steel argues that imitation is not only a basic instinct in animals but also a fundamental aspect of human social interaction, language acquisition, and cultural transmission. The book draws on examples from various fields such as biology, psychology, anthropology, and literature to illustrate the pervasive influence of imitation in human and non-human worlds. Steel also discusses the limitations and potential dangers of imitation, such as the risk of conformity and the loss of individuality. Overall, Imitation offers a compelling and insightful analysis of a phenomenon that shapes our lives in ways we may not even realize.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
