She then combines Kant's Pure Principles of the Understanding with Shakespearean Roman tragedy, exploring principles of measure through over-measure. Bookended by Hegel's \u003ci\u003ePhenomenology of Spirit\u003c\/i\u003e, she investigates over-measures of quantity in \u003ci\u003eAntony and Cleopatra, \u003c\/i\u003equality in \u003ci\u003eTitus Andronicus\u003c\/i\u003e, and relation and modality in \u003ci\u003eJulius Caesar\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe turns to Kant for epistemic measures that make experience possible, highlighting his warnings against exceeding those limits. Putting Kant's Principles into play produces \"principled virtues,\" which are epistemic principles made practical and differ from Kant's Doctrine of Virtues, not just from Aristotle's virtues. Read through Shakespeare's plays, principled virtues are tragic: they miss the mark, and they are executed in both senses. The reason is that their over-measures are not grasped dialectically. The author finds a solution in Hegel's \u003ci\u003ePhenomenology of Spirit\u003c\/i\u003e, which she calls his book of over-measures. In it, Hegel reveals the necessity of overmeasures in experience, thus providing the measure for measure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer Ann Bates\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of philosophy at Duquesne University, USA, and author of\u003ci\u003e Hegel and Shakespeare on Moral Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e (2010) and \u003ci\u003eHegel's Theory of Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e (2004).\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51985617191186,"sku":"9781666932690","price":142.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ff027088-0da7-496f-8752-c35c5383da19.jpg?v=1769541173","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/over-measure-in-kant-hegel-and-shakespeare-putting-the-principles-into-play-9781666932690","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
