Abstract

GUALDRON, Miguel. ANTIGONE: A COMMUNITY'S IMPOSSIBLE PLACE?. Univ. philos. [online]. 2012, vol.29, n.59, pp.81-98. ISSN 0120-5323.

We intend to show, first, what is Hegel's reinterpretation of the True Spirit in the Greek community from Antigone's situation. Then, we expose how this harmony between divine and human laws could carry within the seed of its failure, because the burial (and its place) and Polyneices and Antigone relationship, in case they were effective, would put them outside of the system and destroy it as well. Then, we would be facing "a self-immune process" as Derrida calls it, because an impossible place, a place for self-destruction, would be introduced in the very core and foundation of community. Finally, we challenge both Hegel's and Derrida's positions about Antigone.

Keywords : Hegel; Derrida; Antigone; ethical order; law; community.
