فلسفه تراژدی فارسی 1401

This book "Philosophy of Tragedy" is a comprehensive review of the philosophy of tragedy from ancient times to today. From Aristotle to Žižek, the central question has been: why, despite its disturbing content, do we value the tragic drama? What is the nature of the "tragic effect"? Some philosophers point to a special kind of pleasure that comes from tragedy. Others, while not excluding pleasure, emphasize the knowledge we gain from tragedy—of psychology, morality, freedom, or immortality. Through critical engagement with these and other philosophers, the book concludes by offering an answer to the question of what constitutes tragedy "at its highest vocation." This book will be of equal interest to students of philosophy and literature. As the author of this book, Julian Young tries to examine the themes and tragic elements of the plays with philosophical issues from the perspective of different philosophers. In fact, each chapter of this book is dedicated to the views of a philosopher regarding the nature of tragedy. This has caused the author not to impose only one dominant point of view on the reader. On the contrary, it provides a brief overview of different opinions. This book is definitely recommended for students of performing arts and humanities.
