Tragedy, the Greeks and Us by Simon Critchley
A provocative and timely exploration into tragedy from the curator of The New York Times philosophy column.
Engaging and thought-provoking without too much abstraction and with just enough detail to add flavour.. It has something of the chatty vigour of a successful seminar discussion ... infectiously enthusiastic ... . There is something genuinely invigorating about Critchley's eager open-mindedness, his willingness to step back from modernity to the ancient world and from philosophy to literature -- Emily Wilson * New Statesman *
Simon Critchley beguiles as he illuminates -- David Mitchell
Thoughtful, fascinating * New Yorker *
