Shakespeare's plays make demands on us even beyond our linguistic attention and historical empathy: they require thinking, and the concepts of philosophy can provide us with tools to aid us in that thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume examines how philosophy can help us to re-imagine Shakespeare's treatment of individuality, character, and destiny, particularly at certain moments in a play when a character's relationship to space or time becomes an enigma to us. The author focuses on the dramatization of seemingly magical relationships between the individual and the cosmos, exploring and rethinking the meanings of 'individual', 'cosmos' and 'magic' through a conceptually acute reading of Shakespeare's plays. This book draws upon a variety of thinkers including Plato, Aristotle, Leibniz and Kant, in search of a revitalized philosophical criticism of \u003ci\u003eJulius Caesar, Love's Labor's Lost, The Merchant of Venice, Timon of Athens\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTwelfth Night\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Kishore Saval\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415709024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415709026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.33h x 6.05w x 0.60d","brand":"Peter Kishore Saval","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47243988959487,"sku":"9780415709026","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b969b4a-dcf4-4648-bf68-e916a9bae4e2.jpg?v=1758134664","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-shakespeare-through-philosophy-peter-kishore-saval-9780415709026","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
