Excerpt from A Criticism of Some Attempts to Rationalize Tragedy: A Thesis
My first attack on the problem was to verify the assertion by an inductive survey of tragic drama, both ancient and modern. The main result of this reading was to give the problem a different form; and the issue then became: Are not the difficulties of a solution of the tragic outlook to be explained as correlates of the theory of knowledge? The essay may therefore be regarded as an attempt to justify putting the problem in that way. The task resolved itself into a search through the literature of Western Europe for an idea: namely, What relation have men found between the causes of tragic disaster and the failure of knowledge to give valid results? Thus, the study, though historical in method, makes no claim to have exhausted the resources; but claims, rather, to be critical of results assumed to be defined with historical accuracy.

A Criticism of Some Attempts to Rationalize Tragedy: A Thesis (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, drawing on insights from history, literature, and philosophy, cogently argues that the traditional concept of tragedy is incompatible with an understanding of the world where moral values are subject to unknowable factors. The author asserts many conceptions of tragedy are rooted in the belief that misfortune is divine retribution for moral failing, an idea the author argues is inadequate given the realities of human experience and the limits of our knowledge. Instead, the author traces the concept of tragedy as it has been defined throughout history, from the ancient Greeks to the modern era, showing how thinkers have variously positioned the individual in relation to the universe's potentially irrational forces. The result is a nuanced work that adds depth and complexity to our understanding of both tragedy and its implications for 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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781333318512_0
