Title

ARISTOTLE’S CATHARSIS : SOME THEORIES

Authors

Abstract

The term ‘Catharsis’ appears only once in Aristotle’s Poetics and without any definite meaning or explanation, but it has still been one of the most popular and celebrated terms in the field of literary criticism. Critics have advanced three different meanings to this term: ‘purgation’, or ‘purification’, or ‘clarification’. Despite differing in their interpretation of catharsis, critics have agreed upon the fact that tragedy arouses ‘pity’ and ‘fear’ which lead to ‘tragic pleasure’. Aristotle’s Poetics is a treatise on the art of poetry and not about the effect of poetry; therefore, his view of Catharsis is mainly intellectual and not didactic or theological. Thus, the Clarification theory, compared to Purgation and Purification theories, appears to be the most acceptable one as it offers an intellectual clarification to Catharsis.

Key Words

catharsis, tragedy, pity, fear, purgation, purification, clarification.
