This study of Hamlet is the first to
construe the dynamics of the play on the
conceptual level
—
that is, as occurring with¬
in the constitutive processes and principles
of conceptualization. The focus concerns not
merely particular thoughts attributed to par¬
ticular characters, nor the relation between
those thoughts and the epoch during which
they were written, but more importantly the
relation between thoughts and the intrinsic
dynamics of thinking. The result is a disclo¬
sure and clarification of what has never be¬
fore been seen in the play: namely, the reci¬
procity between what is thought and how
thinking operates and achieves its ideas.
The goal of the inquiry is to clarify the
transformation of the use and understanding
of the thinking faculty through which the
human individual exercises and realizes his
or her own humanity. Such transformation
risks a double bind: thought can be changed
only by thinking, but thinking depends on
prior concepts in order to proceed. As a
character, Hamlet is often linked with the act
of thinking
—
in the play by both himself and
others, and outside the play through centu¬
ries of commentary. Yet the deepest import
of the emphasis on thinking in Hamlet con¬
cerns not what is thought, nor even what is
thought about the value of thought, but the
subtle and penetrating critique and recon¬
figuration which the conception of ration¬
ality, in its diverse ramifications, undergoes.
That is, the complex implications of think¬
ing in the play, including the link between
thought and action, emerge more fully when
framed by the shattering and supersession of
antecedent notions of the faculty of reason.
The exegetical aims of Hamlet and the
Rethinking of Man can be summarized
topically: to isolate the conceptual apparatus
active in the world of the play; to trace its
origins, including those pertaining to Chris¬
tian Humanism and the Aristotelian-Thomist
synthesis with its assumption of the sover¬
eignty of reason
(1.4.73);
to analyze how
and in what respects this conceptual appara¬
tus construes the human act or what is a
man
(4.4.33);
to track the ways in which
the play subjects the components of this
apparatus to dramatic conflict that reveals
their inherent paradoxes and contradictions
not before noted; to explicate the new con¬
ceptual dispensation which results from this
disintegration, including its intellectual and
moral implications; and to address the fac¬
tors tending, even after dismantlement, to
reconstitute and encourage reversion to the
former dispensation. Investigation of these
matters enables a more intimate grasp of
Hamlet s predicament and accomplishment.
