The Philosophy of Tragedy: From Plato to Zizek
Young, Julian (Wake Forest University, North Carolina)
Written in an accessible style, this is a full survey of the philosophy of tragedy from antiquity to the present. From Aristotle to Žižek, 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.
