アリストテレス『詩学』における《プラグマ》の意味について (第五百五十號記念特集號)

Abstract

According to a Greek-English lexicon, the word πράγμα has two meanings, that is action and thing. In what way these meanings are related? This is a problem. In Aristotle's "Poetics", this word is used in the meaning of the matter which is played on the stage. The author analyses this meaning, and finds there a transitional sense from action to thing. This investigation will contribute to the deeper understanding of Aristotelian conception of πράγμα.
