The Political Philosopher as Dramatic Poet: Preliminary Remarks on the Study of Shakespeare -- Living in a Hard Time: Politics and Philosophy in Macbeth -- The Discovery of Nature: Politics and Philosophy in King Lear -- "Sweet Philosophy": Further Illustrations of Shakespeare's Portrayal of Philosophy in Relation to Political Life |
| Summary |
"This work argues that Shakespeare was as great a philosopher as he was a poet, and that his greatness as a poet derived even more from his power as a thinker than from his genius for linguistic expression. Accordingly, Leon Craig's interpretation of the plays - focusing primarily on Macbeth and King Lear, but including extensive comments on Othello, The Winter's Tale, and Measure for Measure - are intended to demonstrate what can be gained from reading Shakespeare 'philosophically.'"--Jacket |
