A Poética apresenta importantes pontos sobre a linguagem e a linguística, além de questões estéticas que têm como alvo principal a qualidade do texto, isto é, se ele está bem escrito ou não; se é uma leitura agradável ou não. Tais motivos acabariam transformando a Poética na base da teoria da literatura do Ocidente.
Em Tópicos I, II, III e IV, livros que fazem parte do Órganon aristotélico, isto é, da lógica criada pelo incrível pensador grego, são examinados os argumentos que partem de opiniões geralmente aceitas. Para Aristóteles, a arte da discussão e do conforto de opiniões, baseada na dialética, era nada menos do que um dos mais cruciais exercícios intelectuais e tinha o poder de preparar o indivíduo para a construção da ciência e para o debate
Os tópicos estariam voltados para quem busca entender como os argumentos se constroem e discernir quais são válidos e quais não são. O primeiro pensador a perceber a importância de tal tema foi Alexandre de Afrodísia, o qual, na introdução a seu comentário do Livro III dos Tópicos, apontou que de acordo o pensamento aristotélico, a investigação filosófica e científica deve ser desenvolvida seguindo a certa lógica de comparação.
Aristotle (Greek: Αριστοτέλης; 384–322 BC) was an Ancient Greek philosopher and polymath. His writings cover a broad range of subjects spanning the natural sciences, philosophy, linguistics, economics, politics, psychology, and the arts. As the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy in the Lyceum in Athens, he began the wider Aristotelian tradition that followed, which set the groundwork for the development of modern science. Little is known about Aristotle's life. He was born in the city of Stagira in northern Greece during the Classical period. His father, Nicomachus, died when Aristotle was a child, and he was brought up by a guardian. At 17 or 18, he joined Plato's Academy in Athens and remained there until the age of 37 (c. 347 BC). Shortly after Plato died, Aristotle left Athens and, at the request of Philip II of Macedon, tutored his son Alexander the Great beginning in 343 BC. He established a library in the Lyceum, which helped him to produce many of his hundreds of books on papyrus scrolls. Though Aristotle wrote many treatises and dialogues for publication, only around a third of his original output has survived, none of it intended for publication. Aristotle provided a complex synthesis of the various philosophies existing prior to him. His teachings and methods of inquiry have had a significant impact across the world, and remain a subject of contemporary philosophical discussion. Aristotle's views profoundly shaped medieval scholarship. The influence of his physical science extended from late antiquity and the Early Middle Ages into the Renaissance, and was not replaced systematically until the Enlightenment and theories such as classical mechanics were developed. He influenced Judeo-Islamic philosophies during the Middle Ages, as well as Christian theology, especially the Neoplatonism of the Early Church and the scholastic tradition of the Catholic Church. Aristotle was revered among medieval Muslim scholars as "The First Teacher", and among medieval Christians like Thomas Aquinas as simply "The Philosopher", while the poet Dante Alighieri called him "the master of those who know". His works contain the earliest known formal study of logic, and were studied by medieval scholars such as Pierre Abélard and Jean Buridan. Aristotle's influence on logic continued well into the 19th century. In addition, his ethics, although always influential, gained renewed interest with the modern advent of virtue ethics.
Esse e um daqueles livros que exige de certa forma um conhecimento previo sobre o Conhecimento Aristotelico,sobre a filosofia no Geral e Um maior entendimento sobre a lingua culta portuguea,portanto se Bem observado pode se notar que o Conhecimento aqui transapassado tem uma forma unica porem cansativa que torna o livro Uma leitura dificil. Portanto esse livro não e para inciantes sendo classificado como complexo e com um entretenimento pequeno mas com uma quantidade de ensinamentos razoavelmente boa NOTA:7/10
