Paperback. Etat : 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.
