Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Paradox of Tragedy
My subject is philosophy, not literary criticism, and the topics raised are dealt with as philosophical questions. My knowledge of drama is somewhat limited, and I am con scious that my appreciation of it may be biased in some respects by the strong impression made upon me in my youth by the Greek dramatists. Even of them I do not write as a classical scholar, but at least I have read most of the plays. With later drama, however, it is a very dif ferent story, and I can well believe that a more extensive and more detailed knowledge would require qualification of my views. My illustrations from post-hellenic drama are pretty well confined to works written in English or French. Such acquaintance as I have with parts of French literature is largely due to my wife, and these essays owe much to her. When using passages from Greek prose or verse, or from French prose, I have thought it best to borrow or give an English translation and, so far as practicable, to dispense with quoting the original language, though I regret the inevitable loss of beauty — in Anouilh as well as in Sophocles.

Excerpt from The Paradox of Tragedy: The Mahlon Powell Lectures, 1959
These two essays form the substance of the Mahlon Powell Lectures which I was invited to give at Indiana University in the Spring of 1959. I should like to express to the Philosophy Department of that University, and especially to its Chairman, Professor Newton P. Stallknecht, my warm appreciation of the honour done to me by this invitation and of the kindness shown to me during my visit.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the paradox of tragedy through the lens of philosophy and literature, particularly drama. The author challenges the notion that tragedy is a pleasurable form of entertainment and explores the psychological and philosophical reasons why people derive satisfaction from witnessing tragic events in literature and drama. The book examines the works of Aristotle and other philosophers to provide a historical context for the analysis of tragedy, and delves into the nature of the tragic hero, the role of pity and fear in tragic drama, and the relationship between tragedy and religion. The author argues that tragedy offers a unique form of catharsis that elevates the human spirit and provides a profound exploration of the human condition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330344361_0
