Poetry Exegesis ("classics and Interpretation" Issue 15)

About This Novel

In "Poetics" we can see how close the understanding of great poets is to that of philosophers. Both Plato and Aristotle said that philosophy begins with wonder, starting from common opinions and recognizing the shortcomings of these opinions. Great poets elicit our surprise by making events happen that defy common opinion and expectation. Tragedy exists not only as a part of political life, but also as a part of the political whole. The perfection of tragedy also depends on how effective it is in connecting human life with the greater whole, that is, nature.
