- Title
Considerations on the Visibility of Action in Aristotle.
- Authors

- Abstract
In this paper we analyze some passages of Aristotle’s Problems related to the perception of movement and action, and then put them in relation to the theory of the dramatic composition of the Poetics. Exemplarity is an indispensable resource in moral formation for the ancient Greeks, in particular for Plato and Aristotle. However, there are only a few studies that consider the process of perception of movement and moral action. Ultimately, we explain why the imitation of actions present in the dramatic art is a valuable resource to understand the complexity of practical life precisely because of its ability to present human actions before the eye in its organic wholeness.
