Aristotle was a pupil of Plato and author of numerous works on logic, the natural world and human society. He approaches poetry (drama) not as a literary critic but as an analytical philosopher. "Poetics" is credited as the source of the Aristotelian doctrine of the three unities - time, place and action - but in fact insists on only one of them. Much of its analysis of tragedy is questionable, though the idea of catharsis, of being "purged" by our experience of tragedy, has taken hold of the modern mind. This translation of Aristotle's "Poetics" seeks to make it as accessible as possible without cutting or paraphrasing. Key words and concepts are glossed within the text so as to disperse with the need for intrusive footnotes. The aim is to allow readers to experience Aristotle's arguments directly for themselves.
