Synopsis
Zabeeh (philosophy, Roosevelt U., Chicago) argues for Shakespeare's status as philosopher as well as poet and shows that Shakespeare's awareness of philosophical issues and history characterizes him as a typical Renaissance secular humanist. Applying the semantic theories of Frege, Carnap, and Wittgenstein to Shakespearean texts, he details the playwright's examination of language, truth, time, and freedom. Annotation c.

Stratford-on-Avon. He is considered the greatest playwright who ever lived. Life His father, John Shakespeare, was successful in the leather business during Shakespeare's early childhood but later met with financial difficulties. During his prosperous years his father was also involved in municipal affairs, holding the offices of alderman and bailiff during the 1560s. While little is known of Shakespeare's boyhood, he probably attended the grammar school in Stratford, where he would have been educated in the classics, particularly Latin grammar and literature. Whatever the veracity of Ben Jonson's famous comment that Shakespeare had "small Latine, and less Greeke," much of his work clearly depends on a knowledge of Roman comedy, ancient history, and classical mythology. In 1582 Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, eight years his senior and pregnant at the time of the marriage.
