Description

This book includes a translation and commentary on the Greek text known as PERI POIETIKES. The translation interprets the Greek following Diotima of Plato's SYMPOSIUM for the first time ever. She explains the most fundamental term poi?sis as "'music' and verse' rather than what the tradition assumed since the first commentaries by the Arabic scholars 1000 years ago, "language in verse," that is "poetry," which the sophist Gorgias only coined when Aristotle's mentor Plato was a young man. The translation emends the famous version of Ingram Bywater, correcting seven core Greek terms like poi?sis, rhuthmos (rhythm or dance), melos (limb, melody or music) and harmonia (harmony, song, or music). As a result, and contrary to the tradition, Aristotle is seen to be examining dramatic "musical" creation for the theater rather than mere literature . Many unsolved dilemmas vanish, such as why there is not poem or no treatment of any purely literary forms of ancient Greece in the treatise. Only three "dramatic" art forms are analyzed: tragedy, comedy and epic (which is said in its definition to be composed on dramatic principles even though it does not have the singing and dancing chorus that the fully dramatic arts have); hence the more apt title. Criticisms that have leveled at Aristotle by literary theorists over centuries lose their sting as a consequence because his intention is shown not to present a theory of literature. The additional and doubly ironic criticism by drama theorists that Aristotle does not appreciate performance likewise evaporates. The rigorous arguments justifying the translation, have been published in ARISTOTLE ON DRAMATIC MUSICAL COMPOSITION: THE REAL ROLE OF LITERATURE, CATHARSIS, MUSIC AND DANCE IN THE POETICS by the same author (New York: ExistencePS Press, 2nd. ed., 2018), with core chapters being published by Cambridge University Press (1999) and Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy (2003).
