The political understanding of Hegel's Greek Tragedy

The interpretation of Greek Tragedy in Hegel's political thought helps to analyse new oppositions that have emerged in society after the incorporation of bourgeoisie as a social element that breaks with political understanding developed by modern theorists. From this epocal assumption we explore the incorporation of political difference in Greek polis by analysing Aeschylus's Eumenides; we continue by analysing in Sophocles's Antigone its importance in overcoming oppositions that are presented in the political community; we end with the importance of this incorporation in the exposition of Eticity in Hegel's mature political philosophy.
