Poetics Aristotle - Aristotle's Poetics (Greek: Peri poietikês; Latin: De Poetica; c. 335 BC) is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory.

Aristóteles (384 a.C.– 322 a.C.) foi um importante filósofo grego. Um dos pensadores com maior influência na cultura ocidental, tendo sido discípulo do filósofo Platão. Aristóteles elaborou todo um sistema filosófico no qual pensou sobre praticamente todos os assuntos existentes, como a geometria, física, metafísica, botânica, zoologia, astronomia, medicina, psicologia, ética, drama, poesia, retórica, matemática e lógica. A Poética (em latim: poiétikés), provavelmente registrada entre os anos 335 a.C. e 323 a.C., é um conjunto de anotações das aulas de Aristóteles sobre o tema da poesia e da arte em sua época, transmitidos oralmente aos seus alunos. Trata-se do primeiro texto conhecido que procura especificamente analisar determinadas formas da arte e da literatura, e é também um registro limitado de como era a arte grega em seu tempo. A Poética não é apenas a primeira teoria do Teatro ocidental; trata-se de um livro que influenciou essa arte ao longo de sua história e que ainda ecoa nos tempos atuais.
Disciple of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. "Father of Western Philosophy". Aristotle (384–322 B.C.E.) numbers among the greatest philosophers of all time. Judged solely in terms of his philosophical influence, only Plato is his peer: Aristotle’s works shaped centuries of philosophy from Late Antiquity through the Renaissance, and even today continue to be studied with keen, non-antiquarian interest. A prodigious researcher and writer, Aristotle left a great body of work, perhaps numbering as many as two-hundred treatises, from which approximately thirty-one survive.

We live in an era rife with cultural conflict. The 21st century is by no means free of wars, terrorism, riots, famine, nor epidemics.

Our modern reality requires a fundamental understanding of the problems beleaguering our existence. Science and literature are key tools for gaining this insight. The wisdom accumulated throughout the centuries by scientists, philosophers, and writers is a solid foundation on which modern man can build the future. Our ability to learn from those who have come before is precisely what led Protagoras to declare that “Man is the meas...
