Shakespeare’s Philosophy
May 28, 2010Richard Wilson will be speaking at a special seminar today on Shakespeare and Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London. The title of his paper is The Hideous Rashness: Shakespeare and the decision.
“The aim of the seminar is to provide a forum in which to debate the validity and value of treating Shakespeare as a philosopher or his plays as forms of philosophical thought, and of bringing philosophical perspectives, past or present, to bear on his plays and poetry.”
Organised by Margherita Pascucci with the support of the European Community Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship.
