On some basic questions of the tragic

Before examining the most general propositions that Isaac Passy formulates and defends in his book on tragedy, I will dwell on that chapter of it which bears the title "Aristotle's Dispute with Plato". Let me be allowed to begin with a topic that I myself have been developing for years. I will justify my desire with one more circumstance: my research, although unmentioned in Passy, ​​has had an impact on his book, and for me it is not without importance how this happened. I want to assure the reader that I will not abuse his patience and will not devote the initial part of my article exclusively to personal authorial interests. Because, on the other hand, the chapter in question reveals some important features that characterize Passy's book in general.
