Cíle předmětu
G.B.Shaw once said that "Shakespeare has no conscience, no constructive ideas, no conscious religion, no philosophy to expound, and no intellectually coherent drama." In the course, we will argue for the opposite, that is: Shakespeare HAD his moral philosophy, and it CAN BE derivated from his works by many ways. He is, in fact, a proponent of the classical Aristotelian view of virtue and vice as moving forces in a human life.
