Philosophy in the Tragedy of Hamlet

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to point to the philosophy that is expressed in the enigmatic Shakespeare's tragedy “Hamlet”. Lev Vygotsky’s study of “Hamlet” served as a starting point for the analysis of ontological aspects. The primacy in the interpretation of the tragedy “Hamlet” belongs to philosophy, because of immanently indicated fundamental philosophical problems in this literary work, and because this tragedy is primarily metaphysical tragedy, which expresses the idealistic philosophy. The book "The Meaning of Idealism" written by Pavel Florensky, helped in gaining insight that Plato's idealistic philosophy is expressed in the tragedy of “Hamlet”, which is a novelty and discovery for "Hamletology" and “Shakespeareology”, but not for philosophy, because even Schopenhauer pointed out that Plato's ideas are the subject of art. What connects the tragedy of "Hamlet" and Platonism, are ontological aspects which are expressed in the tragedy: the question of being, the problem of the nature of reality, or another reality and another world, then the problem of "supernatural", idem est. - metaphysical, transcendental, and the problem of time which is associated with the "four-dimensional" perception of reality.
