Synopsis "Poética (in Spanish)"

Entre los numerosos objetos de análisis que llamaron la atención de ARISTÓTELES (384-322 a.C.) se contó también el fenómeno literario y, dentro de él, su más notable manifestación en su época: el teatro. En el sucinto tratado que recibe el nombre de POÉTICA traducido, presentado y anotado en esta edición por Alicia Villar Lecumberri expone con maestría la estructura formal de la tragedia y la comedia de la antigua Grecia. En él es donde encontramos por primera vez definidos algunos conceptos literarios la trama o argumento de una obra, las distintas partes de una pieza dramática, los efectos que el teatro produce en el espectador o lector, así como términos como los de catharsis o purificación, la peripecia o cambio de fortuna, o el concepto de anagnórisis, «reconocimiento», que desde entonces pasaron a ser moneda corriente en todo el desarrollo posterior de las literaturas occidentales.

Aristotle (Stagira, 384 BC-Chalcis, 322 BC) was a philosopher, polymath, and Greek scientist born in the city of Stagira, in the north of Ancient Greece. He is considered, along with Plato, the father of Western philosophy. His ideas have had a huge influence on the intellectual history of the West for more than two millennia.

He was a disciple of Plato and other thinkers, such as Eudoxus of Cnidus, during the twenty years he was at the Academy of Athens. Shortly after Plato's death, Aristotle left Athens to be the tutor of Alexander the Great in the Kingdom of Macedonia for almost 5 years. In the last stage of his life, he founded the Lyceum in Athens, where he taught until a year before his death.

Aristotle wrote about 200 works, of which only 31 have been preserved (none of them intended for publication) in the Corpus Aristotelicum on a wide variety of topics, including: logic, metaphysics, philosophy of science, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, rhetoric, physics, astronomy, and biology. Aristotle transformed many, if not all, of the areas of knowledge he addressed. He is recognized as the founding father of logic and biology, since although there are reflections and writings on both subjects before him, it is in Aristotle's work that the first systematic investigations are found. Aristotle has also been called the father of political science, zoology, embryology, natural law, scientific method, rhetoric, psychology, realism, criticism, individualism, teleology, and meteorology.
