LENIS CASTANO, John Fredy. Fragile Guiltiness: The Conflict between Moral Arrogance and Tragic Wisdom in Euripides. Civilizar [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.23, pp.133-148. ISSN 1657-8953.

In Euripides the thesis of the human character of guilt and punishment is found, turning the responsibility into an immanent subject to men's life in spite of the religious beliefs. In this sense the law, the human passions, rationality and faith get into a tension that has gone on, taking place regardless of the moral renewal of modernity. This article will be structured following some fundamental moral themes of several of the aforementioned thinker's tragedies from a mainly genealogical and hermeneutical perspective, making an intra- and inter-textual analysis that allows to put into consideration the importance of the tragic wisdom for the instruction of a moral fallible and historic conscience.

Palabras clave : Existential complexity; guiltiness; tragic wisdom; moral arrogance; dionisism; Euripides.
