ULOG #4 "Poetry More Philosophical Than History" [BILLINGUAL]

It is clear that, the poet's function is not to describe what really happened, but what might happen, that is something that can happen in accordance with the law of probability or necessity. The difference between historians and poets is not that of writing in prose and the other in poetry. (The work of Herodotus can be arranged in poetic form, and in this form its historical value will not be lower than in dimensionless form). The difference is that one tells what has happened, while another tells the types of things that might happen.

For this reason, poetry is more philosophical and more serious than history. Poetry deals with universal things, while history speaks about certain things. The universal are the good things, done or said by certain people according to the law of probability or necessity. That is the purpose of poetry, although poetry tells certain names to people. What is special is what Alcibiades does or what it suffers.

In comedy, this becomes clear. Comic poets construct grooves based on possibilities, only they give names randomly. They are not, like the lampoon expert, composing poems about certain individuals. In the case of tragedy, the poets kept the original name of the character. The reason is that things that may happen can be trusted, while we can not believe that what never happened was possible.

Puisi Lebih Filosofis Ketimbang Sejarah

Jelas bahwa, fungsi penyair bukan untuk menggambarkan apa yang sebenarnya terjadi, tetapi hal-hal yang mungkin terjadi, yaitu sesuatu yang dapat terjadi sesuai dengan hukum probabilitas atau kebutuhan. Perbedaan antara sejarawan dan penyair bukanlah yang menulis dalam prosa dan yang lainnya dalam puisi. (Karya Herodotus dapat diatur dalam bentuk puitis, dan dalam bentuk ini nilai historisnya tidak akan lebih rendah daripada dalam bentuk tanpa dimensi). Perbedaannya adalah yang satu menceritakan apa yang telah terjadi, sementara yang lain menceritakan jenis-jenis hal yang mungkin terjadi.

Karena alasan ini, puisi lebih filosofis dan lebih serius daripada sejarah. Puisi berkaitan dengan hal-hal universal, sementara sejarah berbicara tentang hal-hal tertentu. Yang universal adalah hal-hal yang baik, dilakukan atau dikatakan oleh orang-orang tertentu sesuai dengan hukum probabilitas atau kebutuhan. Itulah tujuan puisi, meskipun puisi memberi tahu nama-nama tertentu kepada orang-orang. Apa yang khusus adalah apa yang dilakukan Alcibiades atau apa yang dideritanya.

Dalam komedi, ini menjadi jelas. Para penyair komik membangun alur berdasarkan kemungkinan, hanya mereka memberi nama secara acak. Mereka tidak, seperti ahli lampoon, menyusun puisi tentang individu tertentu. Dalam kasus tragedi, para penyair menyimpan nama asli dari karakter tersebut. Alasannya adalah hal-hal yang mungkin terjadi dapat dipercaya, sementara kita tidak dapat percaya bahwa apa yang tidak pernah terjadi itu mungkin terjadi.
