The book \"The Tragedy of Ukraine\" argues that to untangle the conflict, it must be addressed on an emotional and institutional level, drawing on Richard Ned Lebows' tragic vision of politics and classical Greek tragedy to help understand the persistence of the conflict and model ways of healing deep social divisions. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 298 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19 December 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: De Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe conflict in Ukraine has deep-rooted domestic origins, with a significant portion of the population, particularly in the East and South, perceiving their Russian cultural identity as entirely compatible with a Ukrainian civic identity. The reluctance of the state to acknowledge this ethnos as a legitimate part of the modern Ukrainian nation has perpetuated a tragic cycle that entangles Ukrainian politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Tragedy of Ukraine contends that to address the conflict within Ukraine effectively, it requires a comprehensive approach that addresses both the emotional and institutional dimensions. It draws upon Richard Ned Lebow's \"tragic vision of politics\" and classical Greek tragedy to provide insights into the persistence of this conflict.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClassical Greek tragedy, once employed in Athenian society, played a crucial role in healing deep social traumas and fostering more just institutions. The Tragedy of Ukraine explores how ancient Greek tragedy can be used to reexamine civic conflict and polarization, as well as offer models for healing deep social divisions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy examining the themes and lessons of classical Greek tragedy, the book offers a fresh perspective on the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. It highlights the importance of empathy, understanding, and dialogue in resolving conflicts and promotes the idea of building a more inclusive and harmonious society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Tragedy of Ukraine is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the conflict in Ukraine and provides a framework for understanding and addressing the complex challenges facing the country. It encourages readers to think critically about the issues at hand and to explore alternative approaches to conflict resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 578g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 161 x 234 x 25 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783110743241\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicolai N.
