Über die Dichtkunst beim Aristoteles by Aristotle
QR code
"Über die Dichtkunst beim Aristoteles" by Aristotle is a treatise written around 335 BCE that examines poetry and its forms. Aristotle defines poetry through the concept of mimesis—artistic imitation of human action—and analyzes tragedy, epic, and other dramatic arts. The work emphasizes how tragedy achieves emotional catharsis through its structure rather than spectacle. He identifies six essential elements of tragedy, with plot being paramount. The text survives incompletely; a second book on
comedy has been lost to history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
