Arguably, no literary work, not even the Bible, is more familiar to us than Shakespeare's \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e. Everyone knows at least six words from the play; often people know many more. Yet the play--Shakespeare's longest--is more than \"passing strange\" and becomes deeply unfamiliar when considered closely. Reading Hamlet alongside other writers, philosophers, and psychoanalysts--Carl Schmitt, Walter Benjamin, Freud, Lacan, Nietzsche, Melville, and Joyce--Simon Critchley and Jamieson Webster consider the political context and stakes of Shakespeare's play, its relation to religion, the movement of desire, and the incapacity to love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimon Critchley\u003c\/b\u003e is Hans Jonas Professor of Philosophy at the New School for Social Research.
