A dialética do trágico na Fenomenologia do Espírito de Hegel

Abstract

Taking a general view of the course taken by the Spirit in the religious form of consciousness within Hegels Phenomenology of Spirit as a starting point, were intending to detach from this movement, as one essencial moment, the ceasure occured in the ethical substance which founds Greek Ethicitys world; it is the radicality of this ceasure itself what characterizes the Greek Tragedys moment. The most suitable form of representation to this ceasured content lies in a form of art which is capable of synthesizing both human s world effectiveness and spirits world conceptuality, that is, the tragic poetry. In spite of how important is the ceasure shown by the Tragedy, dividing the Ethicity in two Laws the Divine Law and the Human Law , this ceasure also contains in its own development a moment of reconciliation. This process of overcoming the oppostions goes along with the development of the tragic heros subjectivity, when he stops letting a blind fate guide his life and start to behave as a conscious agent, assuming both his actions and their consequences. Afterwards, Hegels dialectics itself carries a tragic fashion, including the pain of losing as well as the reaching a new plateau.
