What is poetry? What effects does it have on them? Why do human beings produce and consume it?
This book is a wide-ranging study of the very varied answers which ancient philosophers gave to such questions. Can it give them insight into truth, or is it dangerously misleading? An extended discussion of Plato's Republic shows how the two discussions of poetry are integrated with each other and with the dialogue's central themes.
Aristotle's Poetics is read in the context of his understanding of poetry as a natural human behaviour and an intrinsically valuable component of a good human life. Two chapters trace the development of the later Platonist tradition from Plutarch to Plotinus, Longinus and Porphyry, exploring its intellectual debts to Epicurean, allegorical and Stoic approaches to poetry. It will be essential reading for classicists as well as ancient philosophers and modern philosophers of art and aesthetics.
