Om forfatteren

Aristotle (384–322 BCE), the ancient Greek philosopher and scientist, is among the most important figures in the intellectual history of the West. A student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great, Aristotle's works span a multitude of subjects, ranging from logic, metaphysics, and ethics to biology, zoology, and politics. His treatise 'Poetics' is a seminal analysis of ancient Greek tragedy and epic poetry. In it, Aristotle delineated literary concepts such as mimesis (imitation), hamartia (tragic flaw), and catharsis (emotional purification), providing a foundation for literary criticism that resonates to this day (Aristotle, Poetics). His methodical approach to categorizing and analyzing literature set the standard for genre theory and had a lasting influence on European literature and theory throughout the Renaissance, forming the bedrock for much of Western literary criticism (Halliwell, 1986). Aristotle's work is characterized by its systemic precision and empirical observation, blending philosophy with an almost scientific analysis of the subjects he explored. His contributions to thought, particularly in logic and biology, were unmatched for centuries and continue to be a significant reference point in both humanistic and naturalistic disciplines.
