It does so, however, in a wholly unprecedented way, grounding its interpretation in his \u003ci\u003ePoetics \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eEthics\u003c\/i\u003e, rather than the natural philosophy of the \u003ci\u003ePhysics\u003c\/i\u003e. Sean D. Kirkland first takes up Aristotle's discussion of our tragic temporal situatedness--our having to act, think, and live always between a determining past we can never fully master and a projected future we can never fully anticipate. It is this condition that comes powerfully to light for Aristotle on stage in the performance of a tragic drama. The familiar Aristotelian 'virtue ethics' then becomes something radically new in the transforming light of the \u003ci\u003ePoetics\u003c\/i\u003e' temporality - an outline of how humans can inhabit that irremediably tragic condition, never overcoming or suspending it, and arrive nonetheless at something like happiness and excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 31, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56198312067377,"sku":"9781399536462","price":51.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/9532\/7537\/files\/PstGpMqipl9781399536462.webp?v=1788992903","url":"https:\/\/mitchellofficial.com\/products\/aristotle-and-tragic-temporality-paperback","provider":"MITCHELL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
