K^xJhakespeare as a Way of Life shows how reading Shakespeare helps us
to live with epistemological weakness and even to practice this weakness, to
make it a way of life. In a series of close readings, Kuzncr shows how Ham-
let, Lucrece, Othello, The Winter’s Tale, The Tempest, and Timon of Athens
impel us to grapple with basic uncertainties: how we can be free, whether the
world is abundant, whether we have met the demands of love and social life.
To Kuzner, Shakespeare s skepticism doesn t have the enabling poten-
tial of Keats s heroic negativity capability, but neither is that skepticism
the corrosive disease that necessarily issues in tragedy. While sensitive to
both possibilities, Kuzner offers a way to keep negative capability negative
while making skepticism livable. Rather than light the way to empowered,
liberal subjectivity, Shakespeare s works demand lasting disorientation, de-
mand that we practice the impractical so as to reshape the frames by which
we view and negotiate the world.
The act of reading Shakespeare cannot yield the practical value that
cognitive scientists and literary critics attribute to it. His work neither clari-
fies our sense of ourselves, of others, or of the world; nor heartens us about
the human capacity for insight and invention; nor sharpens our ability to
appreciate and adjudicate complex problems of ethics and politics. Shake-
speare s plays, rather, yield cognitive discomforts, and it is just these discom-
forts that make them worthwhile.
