La philosophie sociale dans le theatre d'Ibsen by Ossip Lourié

Description

La philosophie sociale dans le théâtre d’Ibsen by Ossip Lourié is a scholarly work written in the late 19th century. This book aims to explore the social philosophy embedded within the plays of Henrik Ibsen, emphasizing that Ibsen’s works serve as philosophical essays focusing on vital human issues rather than traditional dramatic narratives. The author intends to uncover the interplay of individual psyche and societal norms as reflected in Ibsen’s characters. At the start of the work, Lourié presents an introduction outlining his intent to analyze Ibsen’s theater not as mere dramatizations but as rich philosophical discourses that evoke profound thought. He discusses Ibsen’s approach to theater, highlighting the secondary role of action and the dominance of thematic conflicts, particularly exploring the moral and psychological dilemmas faced by the characters. Lourié argues that Ibsen’s plays challenge societal conventions and urge audiences to engage deeply with the ethical implications and philosophical questions posed through the characters’ struggles and interactions.
