Book Description:
|
A Philosophy of Tragedy explores the tragic condition of humanity in the modern age. Christopher Hamilton draws as much on literature as he does on philosophy, including the tragic theatre, and does not simply propose an account of our tragic condition, but explores the nature of philosophy itself, providing a critique of philosophy's self-understanding.
