The Philosophy of Tragedy

Authors

More about the book

Written in an accessible style, this is a full survey of the philosophy of tragedy from antiquity to the present. From Aristotle to Zizek, philosophers have asked: why, notwithstanding its distressing content, do we value tragedy? Some point to a certain pleasure that results from tragedy, others to the knowledge we gain from tragedy - of psychology, ethics, freedom or immortality.
