Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the contentious history of theater, particularly the rise and enduring impact of tragedy. The author dissects a dialogue in which prominent thinkers debate the artistic and societal value of this genre. Central to the discussion is the question of catharsis: whether tragedy merely serves to purge pent-up emotions, or if it has a deeper purpose. The author argues that the concept of catharsis has been misunderstood, and posits that tragedy in fact provides an outlet for suppressed instincts. As civilization develops, it necessitates the repression of certain primal desires, which, when denied, can lead to a form of psychological illness or unrest. Tragedy, the author suggests, offers a controlled and socially acceptable release for these repressed impulses, preventing them from manifesting in more destructive ways. Ultimately, the author proposes a new understanding of tragedy as a vital and cathartic element of human culture.
