Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Belfiore offers a striking new interpretation of Aristotle's Poetics by situating the work within the Aristotelian corpus and in the context of Greek culture in general. In Aristotle's Rhetoric, the Politics, and the ethical, psychological, logical, physical, and biological works, Belfiore finds extremely important but largely neglected sources for understanding the elliptical statements in the Poetics. The author argues that these Aristotelian texts, and those of other ancient writers, call into question the traditional view that katharsis in the Poetics is a homeopathic process--one in which pity and fear affect emotions like themselves. She maintains, instead, that Aristotle considered katharsis to be an allopathic process in which pity and fear purge the soul of shameless, antisocial, and aggressive emotions. While exploring katharsis, Tragic Pleasures analyzes the closely related question of how the Poetics treats the issue of plot structure. In fact, Belfiore's wide-ranging work eventually discusses every central concept in the Poetics, including imitation, pity and fear, necessity and probability, character, and kinship relations.

Book excerpt: Aristotle's Poetics is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and the first extant philosophical treatise which deals with literary theory. In this text, Aristotle offers an account of poetry or "the poetic art." Aristotle divides poetry into verse drama (that includes comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play), lyric poetry, and epic. He differentiates these genres by rhythm, music, melody, goodness of characters whether the narrative is told or acted on stage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristotle and the Arc of Tragedy is the latest of Leon Golden’s books to connect Ancient Greece to modern culture. In a world facing many pressing issues Classics professor Golden wants to champion the values and achievements of Classical Civilization. He asserts that Homeric Epic and Greek Tragedy are as relevant today as they were millennia ago because they are riveting and insightful studies of the human condition. Their universality grants them a contemporary relevance despite the passage of time and changes in custom and taste. In one of his previous books, Understanding the Iliad, Golden illuminated the relevance of The Iliad for modern readers. The Bryn Mawr Classical Review praised Understanding the Iliad because it, “achieves what it sets out to accomplish: to provide an interpretation of the Iliad that emphasizes its didactic aspects, its ability to improve its readers by presenting the spectacle of the evolution of a flawed warrior consumed by destructive anger to a legitimate hero who transcends his narcissism and grandiosity and reaches out to others and by doing so heals his own aching soul in the process.” Golden, making use of correspondence and personal contact with Joseph Heller, himself, argues convincingly in Achilles and Yossarian that Homer’s The Iliad exerted a profound influence over Heller as he wrote his modern classic, Catch-22. A Kirkus review acclaims Achilles and Yossarian in these words: “Golden combines impressive erudition with a sharp critical eye and a lucid prose style that laymen will find accessible and engaging. The result is an original and persuasive work of literary scholarship that finds much more than mere war stories in these classics.”

Download or read book Aristotle s Favorite Tragedy written by Gregory L. Scott and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generations of readers have taken Oedipus to be Aristotle's paradigmatic tragedy, based on Poetics 13, where Aristotle says a moderately good man who makes a mistake (hamartia) is the cause of pity and fear. Yet in Chapter 14 Aristotle explicitly states that the Oedipus-type play is second-best, after the type ending happily, including Cresphontes and Iphigenia (in Tauris). No specialist has ever been able to resolve this inconsistency to the satisfaction of the profession. In this book, Scott demonstrates that for Aristotle Ch 14's ranking is truly the most important one for tragedy in general. Scott is able to accomplish this because his recent ground-breaking work on the Poetics provides him with a unique vantage point. That is, in 2003 (Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy) he extended the arguments of M.D. Petrusevski, who himself in 1954 argued that Aristotle could not have written the word katharsis in the definition of tragedy (in Ch 6). Scott gave in 2003 the basic reasons why Aristotle also could not have written the words pity and fear in the definition, because then they should belong to all tragedy and yet they do not even come close to belonging to most tragedies given Aristotle's own words. Having those conditions in the definition would be like having "blonde-haired" in the definition of man. In this book, Scott supplements those arguments in order to help resolve the dilemma of the inconsistent ranking of plots. Aristotle explicitly says that four (of the nine) plot-types in Chs 13 and 14 have no pity, and we can easily deduce that four others, including the two that end happily (the double-structured plot of Ch 13 and the favorite plot-type of Ch 14), also have no relevant pity. Pity (and fear) only apply in those chapters to plots like Oedipus. Given other considerations, by the end of the book we can understand that Oedipus is only one (or a mixture of two) of the very rarely discussed sub-types of tragedy mentioned in Ch 18, whereas Ch 14 is about tragedy in general. All of this easily resolves the dilemma of the inconsistent rankings, and shows that for Aristotle, unlike for modern audiences, tragedy is simply serious drama that can-and even in its paradigmatic general form-does end happily. In addition, Scott resolves a number of related problems, demonstrating, for example, that the Antigone given in the Ch 14 ranking must be the lost version of Euripides that ends joyfully, with Haemon marrying Antigone. One reason is that Aristotle says the play has no suffering (apathes). This is all contrary to the received tradition, in which commentators assume that Aristotle meant the version by Sophocles that ends horribly with multiple suicides and with shock (miaron), and in which the commentators try to explain Aristotle's theory accordingly.
