What is Tragic Ambiguity: Anthropology, Philosophy and Sophocles' Antigone (Brill's Studies in Intellectual History, Vol 4) (Brill's Studies in Intellectual History, 4) about?
This book is an attempt by a modern philosopher and a classicist to combine recent philosophical and anthropological interest in systems of thought with a reading of Sophocles' 'Antigone'. The study postulates a fundamental distinction between what it calls 'separative' and 'interconnected cosmologies' - a distinction between modern, Western thought 'based on separation of entities and categories and subsequent unification' and a less absolute separation of categories, where implicit connections are left hidden. 'Separative cosmologies' typically aim to remove ambiguities and obscurities by categorization; in 'interconnected cosmologies', 'differentiation does not lead to clear and distinct entities and categories. Their demarcations are not clear but cumulative'. 'Antigone', the authors claim, is read by modern critics within the framework of a 'separative cosmology' which leads to a distorted understanding of the play, since it was produced within the context of an 'interconnected cosmology'.
