Tragedy And Philosophy by Walter A. Kaufmann
An inquiry into how tragic drama illuminates human existence more deeply than systematic philosophy, showing how themes of freedom, responsibility, guilt, and the limits of reason shape a life-affirming response to suffering. Reinterpreting notions like catharsis, fate, and the tragic hero, it critiques moralism and theodicy, bridges classical and modern works, and assesses whether authentic tragedy is still possible today.
