New York. 1964. Heritage Press. Reprinted Edition. Very Good in Hardcover. Translated from the Ancient Greek by Benjamin Jowett and S. H. Butcher. With an introduction by Horace M. Kallen. Illustrated by Leonard Baskin. 331 pages. hardcover. FROM THE PUBLISHER - POLITICS - �How can men best live together� Twenty-three centuries after its compilation the Politics still has much to contribute to this central question of political science. Aristotle�s thorough and carefully argued analysis is based on a study of over 150 city constitutions covering a huge range of political issues in order to establish which types of constitution are best � both ideally and in particular circumstances � and how they may be maintained. Like his predecessor Plato Aristotle believed that the ideal constitution should be good in itself and in accordance with nature and that it is needed by man � �a political animal� - to fulfill his potential. His opinions form an essential background to the thinking of philosophers such as Thomas Aquinas Machiavelli Jean Bodin and Richard Hooker and both his premises and his arguments raise questions that are as relevant to modern society as they were to the ancient world. POETICS - Aristotle�s Poetics is one of the most powerful perceptive and influential works of criticism in Western literary history. A penetrating near-contemporary account of Greek tragedy it demonstrates how the elements of plot character and spectacle combine to produce �pity and fear� - and why we derive pleasure from this apparently painful process. It introduces the crucial concepts of mimesis �imitation� hamartia �error� and katharsis which have informed serious thinking about drama ever since. It examines the mythological heroes idealized yet true to life whom Aeschylus Sophocles and Euripides brought on to the stage. And it explains how the most effective plays rely on complication and resolution recognitions and reversals. Essential reading for all students of Greek literature and of the many Renaissance and post-Renaissance writers who consciously adopted Aristotle as a model the Poetics is equally stimulating for anyone interested in theatre today. inventory #37547 hardcover
