This book develops an embodied model of aesthetic engagement derived from Greek poetry and Plato's philosophy, and uses this model to resolve an intractable paradox in aesthetic theory: the appeal of tragedy. It will be of interest to classicists, philosophers, and scholars in other fields concerned with aesthetics and emotions.
