III, 142 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leicht bestoßen und berieben, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / slightly scuffed and rubbed, otherwise perfect condition - PREFACE It was my original intention in this study simply to apply the principles of existential psychoanalysis to the neurotic characters in the Medea, the Hippolytus, and the Bacchae. Analysis of character is still the main theme; but as the project developed, certain ancillary inquiries became inevitable. First, some concepts that I was employing seemed not terribly different from some concepts in Aristotles Poetics; I am not yet sure why this should be so, but I felt it desirable to state at the outset (pp. 1-4) that so it was, and to remind the reader at least once that my results were not wholly out of touch with what Aristotle might have thought (Chapter II, note 16). Then it emerged that there was so little consensus among existential psychoanalysts, who have no Freud, that I had to reformulate their principles in my own fashion (pp. 4-12). In so doing I had increasingly greater resource to Martin Heidegger, the philosopher who most inspired, but who was often misinterpreted by, the psychoanalysts whom I had selected for guidance. Then, from another quarter, came the recognition that certain Greek words, sophrosyne especially, which I thought were clear, were not clear, and their role in the plays under discussion had to be investigated. Finally the Greek gods made their claim: I feel that the Hippolytus cannot be understood until we have some real insight into the goddess Artemis, while Dionysus so dominates the Bacchae that a discussion of the god takes precedence over an analysis of his chief mortal opponent. -- The result, despite its philosophical and medical overtones, is intended to be read as a piece of literary criticism and classical scholarship. Furthermore, my actual stance towards the characters, with the possible exception of the Nurse in the Hippolytus, is not very different from that of many another modern critic. Why then rely so heavily upon existentialism? Partly because I have been enabled thereby to see the characters more fully and deeply (some will say, too fully and deeply). Partly because it offers certain concepts which, whatever their general validity, fit the plays extremely well. Of these concepts possibly the most crucial for my purposes is the notion of human beings as a being-towards: Jasons character can be grasped as a movement towards an elusive fixed point; Hippolytus exists, only in relation to his goddess; we comprehend Pen-theus fundamentally as a denial of Dionysus. These statements probably do not strike the reader as strange, or even new. What is new is the claim that they illustrate a general theory of human nature in which our existence is not as selves in isolation, but selves in relation to something other than the self. This in turn requires a relational context, called the world, in which we are-towards. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.…
