Rousseau and the Theater of Originary Mimesis
Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe
Translated by Jeff Fort
Poetics of History places Rousseau at the origin of modern speculative philosophy by showing that his thinking on the theater, despite its dependence on a false and conventional reading of Aristotle, nonetheless articulates a radical thinking of originary mimesis, and, well before Hegel, an understanding of catharsis as Aufhebung.
