Aristotle's Poetics [Book Review]

Review of Metaphysics 47 (4):804-806 (1994)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Davis aims to rescue the Poetics from its initial appearance as a book merely about the art of poetry understood as imitation, without imposing upon it a "borrowed significance" beyond Aristotle's intention. This involves three major claims: the Poetics is about the fundamental structure of human action, it is also about human reason or thought, and Aristotle's silence about these alleged topics can be explained.
