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. Hegel's and Friedrich Nietzsche's works, especially their theorizing of drama and theatre. 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 |
