Throughout the history of philosophy, Poetics of Aristotle has been considered by many figures including Avicenna. Iranian expert of art’s philosophy Iraj Dadashi is currently editing and translating the work into Persian.
Talking
about book, Dadashi said: “I have completed almost 80% of the work. I reviewed
all the existing commentaries and translations and then rendered Avicenna's
commentary and an abstract of Aristotle's Poetics into Persian.”
Other
Islamic scholars have presented commentaries as well which have been briefly
included in my book, he added.
Aristotle's
Poetics is the earliest-surviving work of dramatic theory and the first extant
philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory. In it, Aristotle offers an
account of what he calls "poetry".
