Aristotle's political thought asks the serious student of politics to examine critically the way we use our leisure (σχολη) in the life of the city. This project aims at such a critical examination by exploring the relationship between poetry and the city. The task here is not to understand the political commentary of a specific poetic work but to understand the way that poetry has a use in the life of the city. Traditionally this relationship is explored through piety but I argue that Aristotle rejects this foundation and grounds the usefulness of poetry in how we learn mimetically. Because of this, the highest political utility of poetry depends on a kind of education of empathy (ἔλεός). This refinement then serves two functions for the city. The first: poetry arouses within us the same emotional structure necessary for life in the city and helps to cultivate a shared sense of judgment about blame and mercy. The second develops from the first: poetry forces the non-decent to have a clarified sense of what is worthy of forgiveness. The non-decent, by being forced to give mercy to a protagonist, makes them imitate the appropriate kind of decision-making necessary for adjudicating blame. In these two ways, poetry helps to establish a sense of political friendship within the city and helps to reinforce decency/equity (ἐπιείκεια), therefore a belief in the justness of the law, by forcing us to allocate blame and mercy appropriately.
