Semester 2
Why has philosophy and critical theory been so preoccupied with tragedy? Why has tragedy as a genre been given a particular privilege and cultural weight in the West? Examining the place of tragedy in some key thinkers of the Western philosophical and critical tradition, this module also invites us to consider why the questions with which tragedy has itself struggled remain pertinent and urgent.
