Kant’s come across with the tragedy of philosophy turns philosophy’s gaze from an unique concentrate on wisdom to concerns of residing good in an international that doesn't bend itself to our wants. Tracing the influence of Kant’s Critique of Judgment on probably the most well-known theories of tragedy, together with these of G. W. F. Hegel, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, and Cornelius Castoriadis, Cooper demonstrates how those philosophers expand the undertaking present in either Kant and the Greek tragedies: the try to snatch nature as a website hospitable to human life.
