While large bodies of scholarship exist on the plays of Shakespeare
and the philosophy of Heidegger, this book is the first to read
these two influential figures alongside one another, and to reveal
how they can help us develop a creative and contemplative sense of
ethics, or an 'ethical imagination'. Following the increased
interest in reading Shakespeare philosophically, it seems only
fitting that an encounter take place between the English language's
most prominent poet and the philosopher widely considered to be
central to continental philosophy. Interpreting the plays of
Shakespeare through the writings of Heidegger and vice versa, each
chapter pairs a select play with a select work of philosophy. In
these pairings the themes, events, and arguments of each work are
first carefully unpacked, and then key passages and concepts are
taken up and read against and through one another. As these
hermeneutic engagements and cross-readings unfold we find that the
words and deeds of Shakespeare's characters uniquely illuminate,
and are uniquely illuminated by, Heidegger's phenomenological
analyses of being, language, and art.
