«Poétique» is the essay on literary and philosophical theory by Aristotle, published by Mille et une nuits in paperback (93 pages, in French).
After nearly twenty-three centuries, Aristotle's Poetics still influences criticism and aesthetics. Art does not seek a state but an action, and the work is contemplated from that perspective. Beyond norms, this text raises a philosophical inquiry into the artistic phenomenon, with special attention to tragedy and poetry.
According to the cover, the text of this edition is complete; the work was originally written in Greek, with the title Περὶ ποιητικῆς.
For students of philosophy and literary theory, as well as for readers interested in classical aesthetics.
Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher and polymath. His writings span the natural sciences, philosophy, linguistics, economics, politics, psychology, and the arts. As the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy in the Lyceum in Athens, he began the wider Aristotelian tradition that followed, which set the groundwork for the development of modern science.
