Thanks for the video! Far more informative than the other philosophy content channels that pump out high production videos with surface level analysis or discussion.
I would love to hear your thoughts on Aristotle's Second, now lost or never written, book of Poetics. I first heard about it from "The Name of the Rose" and was wondering whether William of Baskerville's description of the arguments therein is likely to be correct? I'm also currently reading Walter Watson's, "The Lost Second Book of Aristotle's Poetics" and would love to hear your thoughts about that as well!
@@GregoryBSadler You are, of course, right that we can't say anything definitive about the text, except the scant outline given in The Poetics. Idle speculation will probably do no good. However, I was wondering if you knew of any other points where Aristotle discusses his views on comedy outside of The Poetics?
Thank you for uploading these :)
You're welcome!

I think it's entirely irrelevant, since we have no text, and no way of knowing what actually was in it
