This chiasmus of theatricalization, characterized by the back-and-forth movements between role-playing consciousness and a would-be non-role-playing consciousness, permeates Shakespeare's works and demonstrates the pervasiveness of this concept throughout his plays. Shakespeare opens a shared space of negativity within the partnered chiastic relation of two plays, creating an object of reflection that the playwright and spectator encounter outside the theatre. As a result, the playwright and spectator move towards an intersubjectivity and reciprocal intentionality toward sustained being, a concept that philosophers refer to as epistemological shifts. This book aims to explore how Shakespeare effected a massive shift of this kind in his bold management of theatricalization itself. By leveraging terms of Kant and Husserl that they developed in proposals for such shifts, the book demonstrates that Shakespeare exceeds the philosophers' proposals. He anticipates and already brings to a working consummation a systematic and immediate access to the ways of knowing reality that they contemplate as hoped-for desiderata.
