Book Reviews of Shakespeare's Philosophy: Discovering the Meaning Behind the Plays
Book Review: Challenging & Thought Provoking
Summary: 5 Stars
McGinn has produced a consistently stimulating and provocative book in his examination of the philosophical questions explored in Shakespeare's plays. His consideration of the Dream, Lear, Othello et al through the lens of questions of philosophy (the nature of identity, causality, the problem of knowing other minds, etc) makes for wonderful reading. McGinn's turn of phrase is regularly amusing and often strikingly brilliant. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Shakespeare's plays and their relevance to the larger questions facing us all.
