Philosophy in 'Hamlet' by Jasminka Maric offers a radically new reading of Shakespeare's most enigmatic tragedy by approaching Hamlet not as a literary puzzle, but as a sustained philosophical inquiry into being, consciousness, action, and metaphysical doubt. Coming from Belgrade in the Balkans, the book contributes to Shakespeare studies from a somewhat less globally dominant critical tradition. This sometimes leads to different emphases and sensitivities. It brings together perspectives perhaps less present in the Anglophone tradition. That can give fresh angles on how Hamlet's metaphysical concerns are appreciated. This is a book with brand-new, fresh, original, ground-breaking ideas.
Based on the study of Hamlet by Lev S. Vygotsky, the book Philosophy in 'Hamlet' points out the philosophical problems set in Shakespeare's enigmatic tragedy: the problem of being, the problem of the nature of reality, or another reality, and another world, the problem of the transcendent, as well as the problem of time which is associated with a four-dimensional perception of reality, feelings of absurdity and meaning, drawing parallels between Jung's phenomenon of synchronicity and the tragedy of Hamlet, then the problem of the supernatural, idem est. - the metaphysical, and the philosophy expressed in the tragedy of Hamlet.
Philosophy in 'Hamlet' repositions the tragedy at the crossroads of literature, metaphysics, and spiritual inquiry. The study is intended for philosophers and readers interested in the philosophical dimensions of drama, and for literary scholars, students of Shakespeare, English literature, philosophy, aesthetics, theatre, and the performing arts... it offers what other books on Hamlet do not. It has perennial value. For anyone interested in the intersection of literature and philosophy, Philosophy in Hamlet provides a valuable framework for understanding one of Shakespeare's most enigmatic works, and is recommended for anyone interested in the play's philosophical dimensions, offering a fresh perspective on its enduring relevance.
The book includes seven original poems by the author, which reflect her metaphysical inspirations, further underscoring Maric's artistic engagement with her subject matter. The book has received positive reviews from scholars, highlighting its systematic approach and the effective application of critical-theoretical frameworks. Reviewers have praised Maric for illuminating the multi-layered structure of Shakespeare's work and for her unique contributions to the study of philosophy in literature.
In summary, Philosophy in Hamlet by Jasminka Maric is a significant scholarly work that deepens the understanding of Shakespeare's play through a philosophical lens, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars of literature and philosophy alike. Overall, Philosophy in Hamlet offers a compelling and intellectually rigorous exploration of Hamlet as a metaphysical tragedy.
