Abstract

Τhis article approaches the philosophical work of Aristotle, because it is the basis of all later philosophy. The universality that distinguishes Aristotelian thought and the fundamental truths contained in it make his philosophical view great, universal and timeless with deep insight. In this context, this study focuses mainly on Aristotle's work, Poetics, which mostly refers to tragedy, and derives some elements regarding the ethical dimension and happiness from his work Nicomachean Ethics.
