Tragedy, the Greeks, and Us by Simon Critchley

challenging informative

3.0

This book is an absolute wealth of knowledge. Deep dive into Greek tragedies with hundreds of explicit references to reinforce his points. This factor was so enlightening to me, especially in reference to different interpretations of Socrates or Aristotle. I similarly enjoyed the references to philosophical GOATs Hegel, Nietzsche, Kant (ick but W). Incredibly smart dude. Also a bit of a mind F at times 😂 but it was perfect for my Greek itch atm
