One of the first books written on what is now called aesthetics. Although parts are lost (e.g., comedy), it has been very influential in western thought, such as the part on tragedy.

Book Details


First Sentence

"In this treatise we propose to discuss (1) poetry itself; (2) the various forms it can take; (3) the function and potential possibilities of each form; (4) how the incidents of the plot must be arranged if the poem is to be a good one; (5) the number and kinds of parts various types of poetry may have; and (6) whatever else pertains to the same inquiry."
