Abstract
This volume includes references to many important texts on tragedy, including works by Sophocles, Aristotle, and Hegel. However, thus far one author who may be able to provide further insight into the relationship between tragedy and politics remains conspicuously absent: Nietzsche. Nietzsche’s work on tragedy is particularly compelling because of its original analysis of tragedy and science in terms of political efficacy. Through this analysis, Nietzsche links the concept of tragedy to both politics and epistemology. Besides providing this insight, Nietzsche’s account overlaps with the debate in this volume between Richard Ned Lebow and Nicholas Rengger on the question of whether tragedy embodies a category broader than tragic art and makes a positive contribution to understanding politics and international relations.
