Das Tragische begleitet den Menschen. Es begegnet ihm in seinem persönlichen Erleben genauso wie in den fernen Tragödien über die tagtäglich aus aller Welt berichtet wird. Das Tragische war immer schon ein Stoff, der wissenschaftlich und künstlerisch verarbeitet wurde. Doch ist es etwas, das sich schwer fassen lässt, weil jeder Mensch es auf seine eigene Art und Weise erlebt, davon betroffen ist und verarbeitet. Das Tragische ist etwas Allgegenwärtiges. Die Interdisziplinarität der versammelten Beiträge lässt also Konturen des Tragischen sichtbar werden, ohne dass sie versuchen das Tragische auf einen seiner Aspekte einzuschränken.

The essays in this volume grew out of the reflections and discussions conducted during the second international conference „Impulses from Salzburg“ from May 6 to 9, 2008, on „Facing Tragedies“. In accordance with the aims of this project, participants were asked to reflect not simply on the nature and meaning of tragedy but also on ways in which those who are the victims of tragedy make sense of, or cope with, their condition. It was recognised that abstract reflection is important in this regard, but also that such reflection must be rooted in ordinary, everyday experience, and thus the conference had as one of its aims the attempt to ensure that philosophical reflection not lose the moorings it needs in the reality of ordinary life.
