[书籍内容/Book Description]

亚里士多德（Aristotle公元前384～前322），古代先哲，古希腊人，世界古代史上伟大的哲学家、科学家和教育家之一，堪称希腊哲学的集大成者。他是柏拉图的学生，亚历山大的老师。

公元前335年，他在雅典办了一所叫吕克昂的学校，被称为逍遥学派。马克思曾称亚里士多德是古希腊哲学家中博学的人物，恩格斯称他是“古代的黑格尔”。

作为一位百科全书式的科学家，他几乎对每个学科都做出了贡献。他的写作涉及伦理学、形而上学、心理学、经济学、神学、政治学、修辞学、自然科学、教育学、诗歌、风俗，以及雅典法律。亚里士多德的著作构建了西方哲学的第1个广泛系统，包含道德、美学、逻辑和科学、政治和玄学。

《诗学》原名为《论诗》，据说是亚里士多德的讲义。有佚失，现存二十六章，主要讨论悲剧和史诗。有人认为失传的第二卷可能是讨论喜剧的。

对现存26章的内容，有六分说、五分说、三分说三个分法。《诗学》里亚里士多德表达了对艺术及悲剧的观点，认为艺术的本质是摹仿；而悲剧是对于一个严肃、完整、有一定长度的行动的摹仿。

This volume brings together the three most influential ancient Greek treatises on literature. Aristotle’s Poetics contains his treatment of Greek tragedy: its history, nature, and conventions, with details on poetic diction. Stephen Halliwell makes this seminal work newly accessible with a reliable text and a translation that is both accurate and readable. His authoritative introduction traces the work’s debt to earlier theorists (especially Plato), its distinctive argument, and the reasons behind its enduring relevance.

The essay On the Sublime, usually attributed to “Longinus” (identity uncertain), was probably composed in the first century CE; its subject is the appreciation of greatness (“the sublime”) in writing, with analysis of illustrative passages ranging from Homer and Sappho to Plato. In this edition, Donald A. Russell has revised and newly annotated the text and translation by W. Hamilton Fyfe, and supplied a new introduction.

The treatise On Style, ascribed to an (again unidentifiable) “Demetrius”, was perhaps composed during the secod century BCE. It is notable particularly for its theory and analysis of four distinct styles (grand, elegant, plain, and forceful). Doreen C. Innes’s fresh rendering of the work is based on the earlier Loeb translation by W. Rhys Roberts. Her new introduction and notes represent the latest scholarship.

[媒体推荐/Reviews]

“This re-edition cum revision of the three most seminal ancient Greek treatises in the aesthetics of literature is much to be welcomed. Together with a new translation of Aristotle’s Poetics by Stephen Halliwell, it provides a spruced up version of W. H. Fyfe’s spirited rendering of On the Sublime, and a comprehensive revision of W. Rhys Roberts’ 1927 edition and translation of On Style. In all three cases new introductions and generous annotations bring the reader up to date with recent scholarship… The volume as a whole succeeds in meeting both the needs of non-classically trained readers and the requirements of scholars. For that reason it cannot be recommended too warmly.”

——Suzanne Stern-Gillet, British Journal of Aesthetics

“This set of revisions was past due, and its arrival is most welcome. The result is a useful and physically very beautiful little volume that, I predict, will see very heavy use.”

——John T. Kirby, Classical Outlook

“This volume completely supercedes its predecessor… The Loeb editors have chosen the world’s best scholars on these difficult authors for the revisions… Each ancient text is given a clear, informative introduction, outlining for general readers and specialists alike the basic problems and concerns of each essay, backed up with helpful bibliographical notes… In sum, this is an excellent, if overdue, revision of seminal criticism… Congratulations to the contributors and to the series editors for another splendidly produced volume which any scholar of classical literature should now possess.”

——Richard Hawley, Classical Review
