On Germans and other Greeks: tragedy and ethical life

In this illuminating work, Dennis J. Schmidt examines tragedy as one of the highest forms on human expression for both the ancients and the moderns. Schmidt´s engagements with Schelling, Hegel, Hölderlin; Nietzsche, and Heidegger show how German philosophical appropriations of Greek tragedy conceived of ethics as moving beyond the struggle between good and evil toward the discovery of community truths.
