Cognition and Recognition ：Hamlet ’s Power of Knowledge Lingui Yang Abstract ：In his most philosophical drama ，Hamlet ，Shakespeare explores various modes of hu- man knowledge and its relations with power. His configuration of the relationship between intellec- tuality and power in the characterization of Hamlet anticipates ，and provides models for ，modern discourses of knowledge. This study examines the protagonist ’s cognitive process and investigates his role in modern epistemological history. The disparity between Hamlet ’s mental ability and his physical action makes him a cognitive riddle which rivals that of Sphinx ，whose head is incongru- ent with its body. His modern and postmodern heirs share this dilemma of mind-body separation and the frustration of knowing themselves. Key words ：Hamlet （re- ）cognition mind-body disparity Author ：Lingui Yang ，Ph. D. ，has been in the English faculty of Texas AM University ，USA ， since 2003. His major area of research lies in the field of Shakespeare and Early Modern studies as well as comparative literature ，women ’s studies and cultural studies.
