This course offers one a study of the intimate weave between the development of ancient Greek philosophy and that of ancient Greek theater. Through careful analysis of both philosophic and theatrical test, one is afforded a richer and more sophisticated sense of the genealogical/conceptual/cultural interdependence of both genres of wisdom literature. Set within a phenomenological resurrection of the political and religious realities that nurtured to life such philosophical artistry, the study will walk through the great pillars of classical theatre, tragedians and comic playwrights both, as well as those of classical philosophy (Plato and Aristotle).

A philosophical exploration into the nature of theatre, this course would attempt to elucidate the richly theatrical dimensions of daily life. A careful interweaving of selections from the theatre (both classical and modern) and selections from the philosophical literature, will afford students the opportunity to enhance their appreciation of the artistry of the theatre as well as the theatrical artistry of life. The thesis which underlies the study is that meaningful life requires the presence (in one’s life) of the fictive (i.e., the theatrical). Central to the development of this thesis will be the philosophical theory of the “as if” of Hans Vaihinger.
