Learning on ScreenRichard Wilson - This Hideous Rashness: Shakespeare and the Decision
- Synopsis
- Podcast of a one-day seminar on ‘Shakespeare’s Philosophy’ hosted by the Department of English Royal Holloway, University of London in 2010.
Professor Wilson talks about how Shakespeare’s plots turn on the tension between justice and positive law that became a focus for postmodern philosophy. The presentation considers how the ‘ordeal of undecidability’ squares with the current impatience with deferral and with the ‘rashness’ of recent Shakespeare criticism. - Series
