While there have been numerous commentaries on Aristophanes and his world, until now there has been no systematic philosophical treatment of his comedies. In \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy and Comedy, \u003c\/i\u003e Bernard Freydberg illuminates the philosophical insights in Aristophanes' texts by presenting close readings of \u003ci\u003eClouds, Wasps, Assemblywomen, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLysistrata, \u003c\/i\u003e addressing their comic genius at the same time. Freydberg challenges notions that philosophy is best served by a tragic disposition and arrives at a new assessment of the philosophical importance of comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47584723763351,"sku":"9780253219701","price":2945.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780253219701.webp?v=1774957635","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/philosophy-comedy-aristophanes-logos-and-eros-9780253219701","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
