Politics and Poetics by Aristotle The first and foremost work on classical theater, Aristotle's POETICS introduces one of the most pervasive and controversial ideas in literature - the belief that art should imitate life. The world's first theater critic, Aristotle lays down the cardinal rules for drama, that plays must observe the "three unities" of plot, action, and setting, and rates tragedy superior to comedy. In POLITICS, Aristotle considers the three main forms of government - monarcy, aristocracy and polity - which depending on their aims can become any particular type of government from extreme democracy to tyranny. With its lucid translations, chapter-by-chapter analysis and large format, this edition of the two most interesting works by the preeminent disciple of Plato is a beautiful way to augment any collection.
