Klappentext zu „Tragic Lucidity “
Presenting the work of Miguel de Unamuno and Albert Camus as paradigmatic, the present study examines the significance and function of the "tragic" in a modern context, using a historical, socio-political approach. This approach permits the tragic to be seen as a product of specific historical circumstances, rather than as a fundamental, metaphysical aspect of the human condition, first revealed in Greek Tragedy and still evident today. In addition, a connection is made between Unamuno's and Camus's controversial political positions taken at the end of their lives and their insistence upon a tragic human condition.

Pressezitat
"This work is a wholly interesting investigation and association of Unamuno and Camus, providing both an unusual and effective insight into two much-visited authors and an original (and nicely non-metaphysical) understanding of the idea of tragedy in a twentieth-century socio-political context. Its reader will obtain at once a useful overview of modern ideas of the tragic and a provocative entry to the writing and political activities of two major twentieth-century European authors." (Timoth J. Reiss, New York University) "Hansen's theory of tragic lucidity helps us to read some of the greatest works of twentieth-century philosophical fiction in a new light, portraying Unamuno and Camus as participants in a clearly-defined Western tradition. His approach also takes into account the impact of modernism and colonialism on the tragic paradigm, pointing out little-explored similarities between the two thinkers' lives and works."
