On the Art of Poetry- [DELUXE HARDCOVER EDITION]

In On the Art of Poetry Aristotle presents a foundational exploration of poetic theory that remains influential to this day. Drawing upon his keen observations of Greek tragedies Aristotle articulates the principles of mimesis catharsis and the unities of time place and action. His analytical prose reflects a blend of empirical observation and philosophical insight positioning poetry within the broader context of human experience and ethics thereby illustrating its significance in shaping moral understanding. The work serves as both a critical assessment of poetic works and a dramatic lens through which to examine the human condition making it essential for scholars and novices alike to grasp the interplay between art and life.
