Description
Theatre and Knowledge by David Kornhaber For centuries, philosophers have grappled with the relationship between the stage and knowledge. This engaging volume sheds new light on this ancient debate, exploring how theatrical traditions from around the world - including Sanskrit dramas, Greek tragedy, Noh drama, and West End comedies - have probed the boundaries of what we can know. From classical India to modern avant-grade performances, Kornhaber demonstrates how questions of knowledge have long animated the theatre. This concise yet thought-provoking book is an essential resource for students of Theatre and Philosophy, offering a fresh perspective on the intersection of art and inquiry.
