Much ado about uncertainty: how Shakespeare navigates doubt

Shakespeare made uncertainty a leitmotiv of all his works and harnessed its creative power. "Shakespeare’s vision from uncertainty brings together the imagination of a poet, the judgment of a philosopher, and the creativity of a scientist. Being capable to stare into the abyss without being swiped away emotionally is a great attitude for whoever wishes to further our understanding of the world and the way we live in it." King's College London professor, Lorenzo Zucca, analyses in Psyche magazine.
