Poetics de Aristotle

Poetics

Autor Aristotle Traducere de S. H. Butcher
en Limba Engleză Paperback

În centrul acestui volum fundamental se află analiza tragediei, pe care Aristotle o consideră forma supremă de imitație a acțiunilor umane superioare. Observăm cum autorul descompune arta dramatică în elemente constitutive, acordând o importanță capitală intrigii (mythos). Pentru ca o narațiune să fie eficientă, succesiunea evenimentelor trebuie să respecte legile necesității și probabilității, eliminând arbitrarul în favoarea unei structuri logice riguroase.

Descoperim aici o abordare analitică a modului în care dispozitivele de complot, precum răsturnările de situație și momentele de recunoaștere, sunt utilizate pentru a manipula răspunsul emoțional al publicului, vizând generarea celebrei stări de catharsis prin milă și frică. Textul nu se limitează la structură, ci explorează și estetica limbajului, subliniind că stăpânirea metaforei este un semn al geniului natural. Ediția de față, publicată în seria Dover Thrift Editions, oferă o traducere revizuită și adnotată de Malcolm Heath, fiind organizată metodic pentru a ghida cititorul de la conceptul de mimesis la specificul epopeii și al comediei.

Cititorii familiarizați cu antologia Classical Literary Criticism de D. A. Russell vor aprecia aici focalizarea exclusivă pe textul aristotelic, oferind o claritate mai mare asupra mecanismelor interne ale dramei decât o face o selecție generală de texte antice. Față de Routledge Philosophy Guidebook to Aristotle and the Poetics, care este un comentariu critic, acest volum oferă acces direct la sursa primară, fiind esențial pentru înțelegerea rădăcinilor teoriei literare occidentale. Lucrarea completează sistemul filozofic al autorului, făcând trecerea de la logica și etica explorate în Nicomachean Ethics către estetică și psihologia recepției artei.

Despre autor

Aristotle (384–322 î.Hr.) a fost unul dintre cei mai influenți filozofi ai Greciei Antice, elev al lui Platon și mentor al lui Alexandru cel Mare. Fondator al Liceului din Atena, el a pus bazele multor discipline academice, de la logică și biologie la etică și politică. Deși a scris numeroase tratate, doar o treime din opera sa a supraviețuit, reprezentând în mare parte note de curs care au modelat lexicul intelectual al Occidentului. În Poetics, el sintetizează observațiile sale despre estetică, stabilind canoanele criticii literare care rămân relevante și în prezent.

Descriere scurtă

The earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and the first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory. First published c. 335BC.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'What is poetry, how many kinds of it are there, and what are their specific effects?'Aristotle's Poetics is the most influential book on poetry ever written. A founding text of European aesthetics and literary criticism, from it stems much of our modern understanding of the creation and impact of imaginative writing, including poetry, drama, and fiction. For Aristotle, the art of representation conveys universal truths which we can appreciate more easily than the lessons of history or philosophy. In his short treatise Aristotle discusses the origins of poetry and its early development, the nature of tragedy and plot, and offers practical advice to playwrights. This new translation by Anthony Kenny is accompanied by associated material from Plato and a range of responses from more modern literary practitioners: Sir Philip Sidney, P. B. Shelley, and Dorothy L. Sayers. The book includes a wide-ranging introduction and notes, making this the most accessible and attractive modern edition. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Notă biografică

Aristotle (Greek: ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Aristotél¿s, pronounced [aristotél¿¿s]; 384-322 BC)[A] was a Greek philosopher and polymath during the Classical period in Ancient Greece. Taught by Plato, he was the founder of the Lyceum, the Peripatetic school of philosophy, and the Aristotelian tradition. His writings cover many subjects. including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, estheticspoetry, theatre, music, rhetoric, psychology, linguistics, economics, politics, and government. Aristotle provided a complex synthesis of the various philosophies existing prior to him. It was above all from his teachings that the West inherited its intellectual lexicon, as well as problems and methods of inquiry. As a result, his philosophy has exerted a unique influence on almost every form of knowledge in the West and it continues to be a subject of contemporary philosophical discussion. Little is known about his life. Aristotle was born in the city of Stagira in Northern Greece. His father, Nicomachus, died when Aristotle was a child, and he was brought up by a guardian. At seventeen or eighteen years of age he joined Plato's Academy in Athens and remained there until the age of thirty-seven (c. 347 BC).[4] Shortly after Plato died, Aristotle left Athens and, at the request of Philip II of Macedon, tutored Alexander the Great beginning in 343 BC.[5] He established a library in the Lyceum which helped him to produce many of his hundreds of books on papyrus scrolls. Though Aristotle wrote many elegant treatises and dialogues for publication, only around a third of his original output has survived, none of it intended for publication.[6] Aristotle's views on physical science profoundly shaped medieval scholarship. Their influence extended from Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages into the Renaissance, and were not replaced systematically until the Enlightenment and theories such as classical mechanics. Some of Aristotle's zoological observations found in his biology, such as on the hectocotyl (reproductive) arm of the octopus, were disbelieved until the 19th century. His works contain the earliest known formal study of logic, studied by medieval scholars such as Peter Abelard and John Buridan. Aristotle's influence on logic also continued well into the 19th century. He influenced Islamic thought during the Middle Ages, as well as Christian theology, especially the Neoplatonism of the Early Church and the scholastic tradition of the Catholic Church. Aristotle was revered among medieval Muslim scholars as "The First Teacher" and among medieval Christians like Thomas Aquinas as simply "The Philosopher". His ethics, though always influential, gained renewed interest with the modern advent of virtue ethics, such as in the thinking of Alasdair MacIntyre and Philippa Foot.

Recenzii

I find the Introduction extremely convincing, lucid, learned, fair to past scholarship, and truly illuminating about the meaning of tragedy in general and about the very specific acceptions of hamartia, katharsis, ekplêxis, and thauma, in the context of an appropriate understanding of the Poetics. Another remarkable feature is the dexterity and ease with which it draws on all the relevant parts of the Aristotelian corpus to shed light on troublesome textual passages in the Poetics. Finally, the style of the Introduction is straightforward, free of unnecessary jargon, direct, and economical, the best interpretation of the Poetics I ever read. - Sabetai Unguru, Tel Aviv University

“The translations of Joe Sachs are a great gift to Greekless amateurs like me. He uses simple, unambiguous words joined into sentences that are often complex, as they must be to be accurate, but always clear (after sufficient attention has been paid). A stylist may find some awkwardness in the hyphenated compound words and the noun clauses he prefers to the polysyllabic Latinate words often found in English versions of Aristotle. But these blunt locutions — along with Sachs’ excellent notes — manage to convey both the richness of meaning and the clarity of thought of their Greek antecedents. The resulting translation may strike some as awkward in style, but it will strike the careful reader who cares about what is translated as elegant (in the way mathematicians use that word).”

From the Introduction
Some of the most exhilarating things an educated person can think about come tumbling out of Aristotle’s inquiry into the questions of what a tragedy is, what it does, and how it does it. In the Poetics a human achievement of rare power and a thinker of rare depth met, and the world has never stopped talking about their encounter.
