About the book

In this treatise, Aristotle examines the fundamental principles of poetry and drama, establishing concepts that have resonated for more than two thousand years. Discussing tragedy, comedy, catharsis, and the ideal structure of a narrative, the philosopher creates a rational system for understanding the dramatic arts and their function in human life.

Though fragmentary in its transmission, Poetics remains a seminal work that has shaped how we understand narrative, aesthetic emotion, and the purpose of art.
