Overview

Key philosophical questions concerning value, meaning and justice continue to resonate in Shakespeare's work. In the course of rethinking these issues, Philosophical Shakespeares actively encourages the growing dissolution of boundaries between literature and philosophy. The approach throughout is interdisciplinary, and ranges from problem-centred readings of particular plays to more general elaborations of the significance of Shakespeare in relation to individual thinkers or philosophical traditions. Michael Bristol, Stanley Cavell, Howard Caygill, Linda Charnes, Hugh Grady, David Johnson, John J. Joughin, Scott Wilson
