{"product_id":"9780253000385","title":"Philosophy and Comedy: Aristophanes, Logos, and Eros","description":"\u003cp\u003eAristophanes' comedies have stood the test of time as some of the\u003cbr\u003e greatest comic literature ever produced. While there have been numerous commentaries\u003cbr\u003e on Aristophanes and his world, until now there has been no systematic philosophical\u003cbr\u003e treatment of his comedies. In Philosophy and Comedy, Bernard Freydberg illuminates\u003cbr\u003e the philosophical insights in Aristophanes' texts by presenting close readings of\u003cbr\u003e Clouds, Wasps, Assemblywomen, and Lysistrata, addressing their comic genius at the\u003cbr\u003e same time. Freydberg challenges notions that philosophy is best served by a tragic\u003cbr\u003e disposition and arrives at a new assessment of the philosophical importance of\u003cbr\u003e comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120362701040,"sku":"9780253000385","price":12.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780253000385","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
