Abstract
Abstract: This article examines ideas about worlds, fiction, art, images, nature, and experience in Philip Sidney's A Defence of Poetry (1580) and Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream (1595) by drawing on accounts of the image in classical culture, on dreams and shamanistic worldviews, and on John Dewey's philosophy of pragmatism. The article suggests how theater might offer resources for bringing diverging human and nonhuman worlds into new alignments by furnishing us with accounts of knowledge and collective action that differ from those of modern science.
