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 Shakespeareâ€™s Hamlet. Everyone knows at least six words from the play; often people know many more. Yet the playâ€”Shakespeareâ€™s longestâ€”is more than â€œpassing strangeâ€ and becomes deeply unfamiliar when considered closely. Reading Hamlet alongside other writers, philosophers, and psychoanalystsâ€”Carl Schmitt, Walter Benjamin, Freud, Lacan, Nietzsche, Melville, and Joyceâ€”Simon Critchley and Jamieson Webster consider the political context and stakes of Shakespeareâ€™s play, its relation to religion, the movement of desire, and the incapacity to love.
