ARISTOTLE - PHILOSOPHER
My Friends
The poetry of tragedy reveals the truth
10
Έστιν ουν τραγωδία μίμησις πράξεως σπουδαίας
Και τελείας , μέγεθος εχούσης , ηδυσμένο λόγο…..
But in different parts of the tragedy we
meet
Different species of this speech,
imitation that becomes
With the action of characters rather
than narrative .
Achieves the clearance of events
Terrible and piteous incidents with Fear
and Mercy.
ALEXANDER
The dialectics of time reveals the
utmost harmony ,
The Light is nascent-to Being.
The - Same - and different
They move the Humanity and
History.
11
ARISTOTLE
Variation the difference expresses in
the City -the State
Where the Persons create their
masterpieces.
The Greek language is precise light
-expresses the Principles
Of Philosophy - Poetry - Policy -
Is the midline - the being of
Matter and Form.
<Measure> of all things are the
people
Then the conversation turned to the
Aristotelian friendship.
Pursuing human happiness.
Friendship for - useful is because man
is not self-sufficient .
Friendship for pleasure the presence of
friends provides fun -
12
satisfaction shared for all,
and friendship - for Good -is
based on the Virtue and Good .
