Episode #212 ... Nietzsche and Critchley on the tragic perspective. (Amor Fati pt. 2)

Philosophize This!

NOTE

**The Greek Tragedy vs modern (or post socratic) stories, or movies **

Modern narratives often portray life through a simplistic lens, framing individuals as protagonists facing clear-cut moral dilemmas, where good triumphs over evil in a predictable linear storyline. This perspective promotes an idealistic view of reality, painting obstacles as the result of malign forces. In contrast, Greek tragedies provide a profound exploration of the complexities and ambiguities of human existence. They challenge the notion of straightforward moral clarity by highlighting the fragility and unpredictable nature of life events. Engaging with Greek tragedies fosters a deeper understanding of the multifaceted truths of the human experience.
