| Summary |
"A tragikum" by Jenő Rákosi is a philosophical treatise on aesthetics and tragedy written in the late 19th century. The work explores the concept of tragedy, particularly focusing on its essence and the role of moral judgment in artistic expression. Rákosi addresses the interactions between characters' actions and the broader moral universe, manifesting a tension between individual desires and societal norms. The opening of "A tragikum" introduces the context in which the author was inspired to write, referencing discussions and critiques from contemporary scholars. Rákosi expresses his intention to clarify and defend his concept of tragedy against criticisms, establishing a foundation for his philosophical exploration. He critiques both philosophical thought and established aesthetic principles, arguing that the essence of tragedy lies in the intricate relationship between moral failures and their repercussions, while emphasizing the importance of personal and societal ethics in understanding tragic narratives.
