Abstract

"œPoesí­a y filosofí­a en la Poética de Aristóteles"Uno de los puntos más oscuros de la Poética es el sentido en que la poesí­a, en especial la tragedia, es filosófica y enuncia lo universal. Suele entenderse el aspecto filosófico de la tragedia como cognitivo, es decir, que la poesí­a es más filosófica que la historia. El artí­culo se propone esclarecer el sentido de la tesis aristotélica y discutirla sobre la base de una comparación de las maneras en que la historia y la poesí­a presentan acciones destructivas y violentas. Se seleccionan, para tal fin, algunos pasajes de la Historia de Heródoto y algunos ejemplos trágicos, con la intención de que el paralelo sirva para comprender lo que Aristóteles pudo haber significado."œPoetry and philosophy in Aristotle"™s Poetics"One of the darkest parts of the Poetics is the sense in which poetry, specially tragedy, is philosophical and enunciates the universal. The philosophical aspect of tragedy is commonly understood as cognitive, what means that poetry is more philosophical than history. The article purpose is to enlight the sense of the aristotelian thesis and to discuss on the base of a comparison of the manners in which history and poetry present destructive and violent actions. Some passages of Herodoto"™s History are selected to achieve this goal, as well as some tragic examples, in order to comprehend what Aristotle could have meant with this parallelism
