Synopsis "Stay, Illusion! The Hamlet Doctrine "

The figure of Hamlet haunts our culture like the Ghost haunts him. Arguably, no literary work, not even the Bible, is more familiar to us than Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Everyone knows at least six words from the play; often people know many more. Yet the play—Shakespeare’s longest—is more than “passing strange” and becomes deeply unfamiliar when considered closely. Reading Hamlet alongside other writers, philosophers, and psychoanalysts—Carl Schmitt, Walter Benjamin, Freud, Lacan, Nietzsche, Melville, and Joyce—Simon Critchley and Jamieson Webster consider the political context and stakes of Shakespeare’s play, its relation to religion, the movement of desire, and the incapacity to love.

Simon Critchley (Herfordshire, Reino Unido, 1960) es filósofo y desde 2004 imparte clases en la New School for Social Research de Nueva York. En 2021 la Academic Influence le nombró uno de los veinticinco filósofos contemporáneos más influyentes por su trayectoria ecléctica, a lo largo de la cual se ha dedicado a la filosofía continental, la teoría política y el estudio de figuras como David Bowie. Entre sus más de veinte obras publicadas destacan los ensayos El libro de los filósofos muertos (Taurus, 2008), Apuntes sobre el suicidio –editado en castellano por Alpha Decay en 2016 y recuperado en 2022–, En qué pensamos cuando pensamos en fútbol (Sexto Piso, 2018), La tragedia, los griegos y nosotros (Turner, 2020) y la novela El teatro de la memoria (Alpha Decay, 2016).
