Book Synopsis Phaedra by : Małgorzata Budzowska
Book excerpt: This award-winning book deals with the ethical aspect of emotions in human decision making in literature. The broadest description of the process of 'emotional obsession' can be found in Euripides' tragedy of Phaedra, but the topos can be found in the tragedies of Roman philosopher Seneca and modern French poet Jean Racine, as well.
