Date: September 22nd, 2026 5:13 PM Author: Consuela Greek tragedy offers a strikingly non-redemptive vision of existence, in which suffering does not necessarily lead to salvation, progress, or ultimate restoration. Across the surviving plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, human beings gradually discover the limits of their agency within a world governed by fate, divine powers, inherited guilt, and chance. Set against the modern redemptive expectation that suffering should ultimately be resolved or given a higher purpose, these tragedies instead explore what it means to recognize and endure a world whose deeper order may be intelligible without being benevolent.

Date: September 22nd, 2026 5:33 PM Author: Consuela ...which in turn undermines nietzsche, because the descent into secularism already existed under Aeschylus long before euripides (and the latter's bacchae basically blows up nietzsche's schematic from the other side) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5906035&forum_id=2)#50149940) |
