Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the complex interplay between art and ethics in dramatic works. Drawing insights from canonical thinkers like Aristotle, Goethe, and Shakespeare, the author explores the interplay between tragic suffering and human error, and the tension between the need for poetic justice and the demands of realism in drama. The author argues that these perennial questions are not merely academic, but lie at the very heart of what it means to be human. The book provocatively argues that our ethical intuitions are not static but have been deeply shaped by the theatrical tradition, and through a series of thought-provoking readings, provides a nuanced understanding of the nature of morality in art and life.
