| Summary |
Ask for the tragic and Europe will answer. Leaving behind the philosophers' enthusiasm of the nineteenth century, 'tragedy' and 'the tragic' now seem little more than vague containers. Time and again tragedy is being registered, written down and staged. This book aims to open a contemporary philosophical perspective on the tragic. |
