Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bold new reconception of ancient Greek drama as a mode of philosophical thinking The Philosophical Stage offers an innovative approach to ancient Greek literature and thought that places drama at the heart of intellectual history. Drawing on evidence from tragedy and comedy, Joshua Billings shines new light on the development of early Greek philosophy, arguing that drama is our best source for understanding the intellectual culture of classical Athens. In this incisive book, Billings recasts classical Greek intellectual history as a conversation across discourses and demonstrates the significance of dramatic reflections on widely shared theoretical questions. He argues that neither "literature" nor "philosophy" was a defined category in the fifth century BCE, and develops a method of reading dramatic form as a structured investigation of issues at the heart of the emerging discipline of philosophy. A breathtaking work of intellectual history by one of today's most original classical scholars, The Philosophical Stage presents a novel approach to ancient drama and sets a path for a renewed understanding of early Greek thought.

Book excerpt: This work analyzes dramatic structures, from Sophocles to Orson Welles and the 21st century cinema, all from the viewpoint of Hegelian dialectic.

Download or read book Irony and Drama written by Bert O. States and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor States provides nothing less than a new theory of the drama based upon the principles of irony and dialectic. Very close in approach to the Continental structuralists, he treats irony, not as a literary device or as an attitude in the mind of the playgoer, but as a means of confronting reality—a way of testing and resolving conflicting ideas. Pointing out the limitations of conventional categories such as comedy, tragedy, and tragicomedy, he views drama instead as a vehicle for perceiving and ordering the possibilities of human experience. After setting forth his thesis boldly and persuasively, Professor States explores other mod es such as the epic and the lyric and shows how they interact with the dramatic principle. He manages to cover, in a minimum amount of space, the entire range of dramatic styles and periods, placing special emphasis on playwrights of universal appeal like Sophocles, Shakespeare, Chekhov, Ibsen, Shaw, and Beckett.

Download or read book The Development of Dialectic from Plato to Aristotle written by Jakob Leth Fink and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period from Plato's birth to Aristotle's death (427–322 BC) is one of the most influential and formative in the history of Western philosophy. The developments of logic, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and science in this period have been investigated, controversies have arisen and many new theories have been produced. But this is the first book to give detailed scholarly attention to the development of dialectic during this decisive period. It includes chapters on topics such as: dialectic as interpersonal debate between a questioner and a respondent; dialectic and the dialogue form; dialectical methodology; the dialectical context of certain forms of arguments; the role of the respondent in guaranteeing good argument; dialectic and presentation of knowledge; the interrelations between written dialogues and spoken dialectic; and definition, induction and refutation from Plato to Aristotle. The book contributes to the history of philosophy and also to the contemporary debate about what philosophy is.

Download or read book Dialectic and Narrative written by Thomas R. Flynn and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dialectic and narrative reflect the respective inclinations of philosophy and literature as disciplines that fix one another in a Sartrean gaze, admixing envy with suspicion. Ever since Plato and Aristotle distinguished scientific knowledge (episteme) from opinion (doxa) and valued demonstration through formal final causes over emplotment (mythos), the palm has been awarded to dialectic as the proper instrument of rational discourse, the arbiter of coherence, consistency, and ultimately of truth. The matter becomes more complicated when we recognize the various uses of the term "dialectic" in the tradition, some of which complement and even overlap the narrative domain. By confronting these concepts with one another, either de facto or ex professo, the following essays not only raise anew the ancient questions of the identities of philosophy and literature, but do so in the context of recent "postmodern" challenges to their relative autonomy.

Download or read book Plato's Socratic Conversations written by Michael C. Stokes and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Stokes sets out a new way of reading Plato's dialogues. Why should Plato have written dialogues at all, rather than treatises? The argument of the dialogues lies in their drama - in the interplay of personality, profession and belief, and in the cut-and-thrust of Socratic dialectic. By examining systematically where each party to the argument stands at each successive stage of the discussion, the author shows that each of these dialogues under discussion has a single-minded consistency of purpose and that the literary passages help to form and convey the philosophical message. The book will be essential to all students of classics and philosophy.

Download or read book Cinema and Its Discontents written by Zachariah Rush and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate aim of drama is to expose the soul of Character. Dramatists achieve this objective by employing a specific type of conflict known as dialectic, a concept woven throughout Western thinking and--from Homer to 21st century cinema--the basis of all dramatic characters. This study details the history of dialectical thought from Plato to Jung before turning its focus to the development of character in a century of filmmaking. From Chaplin's Tramp to Taxi Driver's Travis Bickle, it examines more than two dozen cinematic characters governed by dialectic--torn between life and death, opposing desires, moralities and wills, their sense of self threatened by others.
