Today we're reviewing Robert D. Kaplan's "The Tragic Mind," which explores the intersection of geography, history, literature, and political decision-making. Kaplan argues that a "tragic sensibility," informed by the works of Greek tragedians and Shakespeare, is crucial for effective leadership, particularly in foreign policy. He emphasizes the importance of understanding limitations and the unavoidable conflict between competing goods, illustrating his points with historical examples and personal experiences as a foreign correspondent. The book contrasts the Apollonian pursuit of order with the Dionysian force of chaos, arguing that wise leaders must balance both to avoid catastrophic errors. Ultimately, Kaplan advocates for a nuanced approach to international relations that acknowledges human fallibility and the unpredictable nature of world events.
