Scholars have often focused on understanding Aristotle's poetic
theory, and particularly the concept of catharsis in the Poetics,
as a response to Plato's critique of pity in the Republic. However,
this book shows that, while Greek thinkers all acknowledge pity and
some form of fear as responses to tragedy, each assumes for the two
emotions a different purpose, mode of presentation and, to a
degree, understanding. This book reassesses expressions of the
emotions within different tragedies and explores emotional
responses to and discussions of the tragedies by contemporary
philosophers, providing insights into the ethical and social
implications of the emotions.
