"Shakespeares Philosophical Theatre: Plays and Poetry for All Seasons" (Publisher Austin Macaulay) Summary of Chapter 2 featured in "The Delphic Podcasts" by Michael R D James Season 15 Episode 3)

The Role of History in Shakespeare has not been examined sufficiently, perhaps because of the ambiguity of various remarks Aristotle made in his work on the "Poetics". Weil points out that History like many other  disciplines in various categories of the sciences has a hylomorphic Structure. We argue that there are a number of arguments which support reclassifying many of Shakespeares plays.The organ of speech is best positioned to represent our relation to other things and is therefore the origin of many of the  performing arts. Hamlets soliloquy manifests many of the modern concerns we have about the role of consciousness in our lives. Critics however, sometimes overcomplicate Hamlets motivationshttp://michaelrdjames.orgDelphic Podcast
