A wide-ranging volume that presents a series of diverse philosophical openings from Plato, to Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Adorno, Wittgenstein, and Butler onto what is one of the most engaging, challenging, and disorienting plays in the modern canon. All students of Ibsen's great play will find their reading enlightened, deepened, and troubled by these thoughtful and thought-provoking essays.
