This volume integrates aspects of the Poetics into the broader
corpus of Aristotelian philosophy. It both deals with some old
problems raised by the treatise, suggesting possible solutions
through contextualization, and also identifies new ways in which
poetic concepts could relate to Aristotelian philosophy. In the
past, contextualization has most commonly been used by scholars in
order to try to solve the meaning of difficult concepts in the
Poetics (such as catharsis, mimesis, or tragic pleasure). In this
volume, rather than looking to explain a specific concept, the
contributors observe the concatenation of Aristotelian ideas in
various treatises in order to explore some aesthetic, moral and
political implications of the philosopher's views of tragedy,
comedy and related genres. Questions addressed include: Does
Aristotle see his interest in drama as part of his larger research
on human natures? What are the implications of tragic plots dealing
with close family members for the polis? What should be the role of
drama and music in the education of citizens? How does dramatic
poetry relate to other arts and what are the ethical ramifications
of the connections? How specific are certain emotions to literary
genres and how do those connect to Aristotle's extended account of
pathe? Finally, how do internal elements of composition and
language in poetry relate to other domains of Aristotelian thought?
The Poetics in its Aristotelian Context offers a fascinating new
insight to the Poetics, and will be of use to anyone working on the
Poetics, or Aristotelian philosophy more broadly.
