Summary/Abstract: The article deals with some philosophical reflections of the image and its production. At the beginning it focuses on Plato’s classification of the imaginative art and his negative characterization of simulacra. In the next part it moves to Deleuze’s analysis of simulacra and their position in the social space. Afterwards Baudrillard’s conception, which considers simulacra to be the dominant image expression of modern society, is invoked. In the last part the author mentions the critics of this conception (Lyotard, Latour) and calls attention to the conflicts and clashes connected with images today.
