Beschreibungen
This book analyzes narrations embedded in political disputes, allowing readers to gain a deeper understanding of modern political reality. The author explores this theme in readings of the Sophocles tragedy <i>Antigone</i>, the <i>Melian Dialogue</i> of Thucydides, Heinrich von Kleist’s novella <i>Michael Kohlhaas</i>, Fyodor Dostoevsky's <i>The Grand Inquisitor</i> and E.L. Doctorow’s <i>Ragtime </i>novel, taking into account the relevant interdisciplinary aspects of the narratives. His study of these four narrations focuses on key political concepts, such as might and right, self-interest, legality and justice, the nation-state and democracy, and relates them compellingly to current actuality. Since narrations can exert comprehensive and lasting influence on individuals’ political discernment, this systematic analysis allows for a better comprehension of politics in education and civics.
