Summary "The Drama of History: Ibsen, Hegel, Nietzsche offers a new interpretation of Henrik Ibsen's drama and brings to light new aspects of G.W. F.

This study emphasizes the centrality of philosophy of theater in nineteenth-century philosophy and demonstrates how drama functions as an artform that offers insight into human historicity and the conditions of modern life. In this way, The Drama of History: Ibsen, Hegel, Nietzsche seeks to deepen and actualize the relationship between philosophy and drama-not by suggesting that either philosophy or drama should have the upper hand, but by indicating how a sustained dialogue between them can bring out the best in both"-- Provided by publisher
