5 Losev is able to demonstrate (p. 209) that a theory similar to N.'s was proposed over a century ago by Kock, Theodor in his Über den Aristotelischen Begriff der Katharsis in der Tragödie und die Anwendung auf König Oedipus (Elbing, 1851)Google Scholar. N.'s theory differs from Kock's mainly in the former's emphasis on doxa. At any rate, N. does not seem to have thought Kock's theory worth mentioning in La Catharsis.
