The marriage of Homer and Plato. 520 "What is poetry? Why do human beings produce and consume it? What effects does it have on them? Can it give them insight into truth, or is it dangerously misleading? This book is a wide-ranging study of the very varied answers which ancient philosophers gave to such questions. 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"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 00 Plato.|tRepublic.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n80008527 630 07 Republic (Plato)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1356306 648 7 To 1500|2fast 650 0 Poetics|xHistory|yTo 1500.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh2008109416 650 0 Philosophy, Ancient, in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh94007798 650 0 Language and languages|xPhilosophy.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85074574 650 7 Poetics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1067682 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Philosophy, Ancient, in literature.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1060872 650 7 Language and languages|xPhilosophy.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/992193 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHeath, Malcolm.|tAncient philosophical poetics.|dCambridge, [England] ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2012|z9780521198790|w(DLC) 2012023161 |w(OCoLC)795575282 830 0 Key themes in ancient philosophy.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2009043756 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=508900|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
