Reading Shakespeare through Philosophy advocates that the beauty of
Shakespearean drama is inseparable from its philosophical power.
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. This 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 Julius Caesar, Love's Labor's Lost, The Merchant of
Venice, Timon of Athens, and Twelfth Night.
