Poetry of Philosophy

The author puts forward the argument that Aristotle's 'Poetics' pertains as much to philosophy as it does to literary criticism and therefore deserves to be read as philosophy.
Although Aristotle's Poetics is the most frequently read of his works, philosophers and political theorists have, for the most part, left analysis of the text to literary critics and classicist. In this book Michael Davis argues convincingly that in addition to teaching us something about poetry, poetics contains an understanding of the common structure of human action and human thought that connects it to Aristotle's other writings on politics and morality. Davis demonstrates that the duality of Poetics reaches out to the philosopher,writer, and political theorist and shows the importance of the ideal in our imaginings of an goals for the future.
