Chris Anadale interviews scholar Marco Andreacchio about Shakespeare as a philosophical poet.
Marco Antonio Andreacchio was awarded a doctorate from the University of IIlinois for his interpretation of Sino-Japanese philosophical classics in dialogue with Western counterparts and a doctorate from Cambridge University for his work on Dante’s Platonic interpretation of religious authority. He has taught at various higher education institutions and published systematically on problems of a political-philosophical nature. His monographs include Medieval Teachers of Freedom and two recent works on Shakespeare—The Passion of Reason (focusing on Hamlet and Midsummer Night's Dream), and Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in Dante's Spirit. He is currently completing studies of various other Shakespearean plays rediscovered as Platonic Dialogues articulated in light of the rise of a modern world.
