Argues for Shakespeare's inclusion within a metaphysical tradition that opposes empiricism and Cartesian dualism. Through readings of 3 plays - "The Tempest", "King Lear" and "Twelfth Night" - this title proposes that Shakespeare's manner of depicting life on stage itself constitutes an 'answer' to metaphysical questions raised by later thinkers.
