While there have been numerous commentaries on Aristophanes and his world, until now there has been no systematic philosophical treatment of his comedies. In \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy and Comedy, \u003c\/i\u003e Bernard Freydberg illuminates the philosophical insights in Aristophanes' texts by presenting close readings of \u003ci\u003eClouds, Wasps, Assemblywomen, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLysistrata, \u003c\/i\u003e addressing their comic genius at the same time. Freydberg challenges notions that philosophy is best served by a tragic disposition and arrives at a new assessment of the philosophical importance of comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernard Freydberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Indiana University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Studies in Continental Thought\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.67w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780253219701","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44322456600713,"sku":"9780253219701","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_0b08f71f-6761-4c1c-a85f-1aafbf077eeb.jpg?v=1750137213","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/philosophy-comedy-aristophanes-logos-and-eros-9780253219701","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
