Synopsis "Poética (in Spanish)"

Obra más bien breve, en cierto modo sencilla, la Poética es la más antigua teoría sistemática de la literatura que conocemos. Compuesta en torno del 334 a.C., ejerció en ese campo una influencia amplia y todavía persistente. No impidió esa notable recepción el hecho de que la Poética llegase hasta nosotros de manera fragmentaria. Aristóteles parece haber agregado, en momentos distintos, ideas y correcciones. El sesgo sistemático y metódico, que sin embargo ostenta la Poética, pone de manifiesto un rasgo propio de la escritura y del estilo intelectual de Aristóteles, y atestigua la escrupulosidad de su reflexión acerca del arte. Como en todas sus obras, esa reflexión se desenvuelve en un diálogo, no siempre explícito, con la tradición precedente: un diálogo complejo, que combina elementos de continuidad y de apropiación, de polémica y de ruptura.La traducción y el estudio preliminar han estado a cargo del Doctor Eduardo Sinnott, profesor en Filosofía, y en Lenguas y Literaturas Clásicas, quien realizó estudios de Filosofía, Filología Griega y Ling ¼ística General en la Universidad de M ¼nster (Alemania). La labor de Sinnott como traductor de griego y latín es ampliamente reconocida.'

Aristotle (Stagira, 384 BC-Chalcis, 322 BC) was a philosopher, polymath, and Greek scientist born in the city of Stagira, in the north of Ancient Greece. He is considered, along with Plato, the father of Western philosophy. His ideas have had a huge influence on the intellectual history of the West for more than two millennia.

He was a disciple of Plato and other thinkers, such as Eudoxus of Cnidus, during the twenty years he was at the Academy of Athens. Shortly after Plato's death, Aristotle left Athens to be the tutor of Alexander the Great in the Kingdom of Macedonia for almost 5 years. In the last stage of his life, he founded the Lyceum in Athens, where he taught until a year before his death.

Aristotle wrote about 200 works, of which only 31 have been preserved (none of them intended for publication) in the Corpus Aristotelicum on a wide variety of topics, including: logic, metaphysics, philosophy of science, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, rhetoric, physics, astronomy, and biology. Aristotle transformed many, if not all, of the areas of knowledge he addressed. He is recognized as the founding father of logic and biology, since although there are reflections and writings on both subjects before him, it is in Aristotle's work that the first systematic investigations are found. Aristotle has also been called the father of political science, zoology, embryology, natural law, scientific method, rhetoric, psychology, realism, criticism, individualism, teleology, and meteorology.
