John's review of The Rhetoric and the Poetics of Aristotle
The Rhetoric and the Poetics of Aristotle (Modern Library College Editions) by Aristotle
Both of these works are full of important insights about human nature. Chapter 4 of the Poetics, for example, discusses the essential place of imitation in learning, and the books of the rhetoric are full of material about psychology. The titles might suggest that these works are primarily relevant to themes of literature, but they in fact fit more tightly with the themes of human life explored in Aristotle Ethics and Politics.
