Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the study of the concept of kátharsis and especially to the importance given to this topic in the work of Aristotle and Nietzsche. In the first part of this essay, centred on Aristotle, we will analyse the central role of this notion in the theory of tragedy and we will sustain that it is inseparable from the concept of mimesis. The second part, focused on Nietzsche, considers the polemic raised by this author against
the Aristotelian theory and examines Nietzsche’s advocacy of tragedy as a great stimulus of life and a vital tonic.
