Annotation:
This course is dedicated to philosophical interpretations of Greek tragedy, but its focus is more concrete, as it emphasizes the problem of the Other. In contrast to Waldenfels’ claim that Greek culture generally ignored the importance of the Other, we shall examine the role of the Other in several aspects of Greek tragedy. Starting with the interpretation of event in Sophocles’ Antigone, we will confront it with the meaning of event in Euripides’ Bacchae. The problem of the Other will further lead us to the perspective of the Outside which is opened and maintained by the Other. The topology of the Outside and the Inside shall be explored in works like Aeschylus’ Persians, Euripides’ The Trojan Women, or his Bacchae. All this, combined with Heidegger’s, Jaspers’, Nietzsche’s, Butler’s or Vernant’s elucidations of Greek tragedy should help us to see the complexity and richness of relations between the Same and the Other, the Inside and the Outside in Greek tragedy.
