"Shakespeares Philosophical Theatre: Plays and Poetry for all Seasons" Summary of Chapter 3 featured in "The Delphic Podcasts" by Michael R D James: Season 15 Episode 4

T S Eliot did not believe Shakespeares work to be Philosophical because of his view that Religion and Philosophy shared an intimate relation which the Ancient Greeks did not believe was the case. The Ancient Greek Gods praised what is just more than what was holy and the trinity of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle were in agreement. Our Western Christian Religion views mans soul as flawed with sin, requiring the worship of of a Superior Being which in the eyes of many modern Philosophers may be merely a figment of our imaginations given the lack of belief in one universal God. http://michaelrdjames.org [http://michaelrdjames.org] Delphic Podcast

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 motivations http://michaelrdjames.org [http://michaelrdjames.org] Delphic Podcast

"Shakespeares Philosophical Theatre: Plays and Poetry for All Seasons" (Publisher Austin Macaulay) Summary of Chapter 1 featured in "The Delphic Podcasts" by Michael R D James Season 15 Episode 2

Aesthetic ideas are used by Shakespeare to "show" the reach of the powers of the imagination, understanding and Reason. We are taken on a hypnotic cosmopolitan journey into the worlds of Emperors, Kings, Queens, Princes, soldiers, lawyers, merchants, university students, sailors tyrants and murderers in familiar and exotic places of the world. Hamlet is merely an indecisive youthful university student/lover who happens to be a Prince in a difficult situation in which his father was murdered. He represents our modern form of consciousness which as Norththrop Frye claims "kills" action with its inaction, its  inhibitive function. http://michaelrdjames.org [http://michaelrdjames.org] Delphic Podcast
