Exploring the interplay between rationalism and empiricism, this study examines four modern plays as reflections of their time and as universal inquiries into understanding the world. Michael Y. Bennett argues that these works engage with contemporary epistemological debates without being tied to specific philosophies. Through an interdisciplinary approach, he investigates how meaning is constructed in theatre, emphasizing the tension between empirical and rational perspectives. The book concludes with an insightful interview with performance artist Coco Fusco.
