Tragic view, also known as tragic worldview or tragic sense of life, is a philosophical concept that suggests that life is inherently tragic and that suffering, pain, and death are inevitable aspects of the human condition. It is a perspective that acknowledges the limitations of human existence and the ultimate futility of human efforts to control or overcome the forces of nature and fate. The tragic view is often associated with ancient Greek philosophy, particularly the works of Sophocles and Aristotle, but it has also been explored by many other philosophers and writers throughout history.
