Enter secularisation: Heinsius's De tragoediae constitutione
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-07, 21:48 authored by Mark SomosIn his "De tragoediae constitutione" (1611) Heinsius rearranged the text of Aristotle's "Poetics", and built on it a new general theory of drama, literature and speech. The new system was designed to render Christian exemplars and Christian theories of internalisation, pedagogy and motivation impossible to maintain, and thereby sidestep one of the most divisive issues in the intellectual debates of the Reformation. Irenicist secularisation is a major cause of Heinsius's impact on German, English and French literary theory.
