This study is concerned with the different interpretations of Greek
tragedy proposed by G.W.F. Hegel. While Hegel's philosophical
interest in tragedy as an art form is well known, the motivation
for his preoccupation with this art form needs to be further
explored. Indeed, why would Hegel, a pivotal figure of German
idealism, be inclined to concern himself with a form of poetry that
reached its peak in the 5th century B.C.? Precisely this question
forms the core of this book. It articulates what the primary stakes
are and thereby develop and defend the thesis that Hegel's
examination of Greece and tragedy is one that has a direct bearing
on the "fate" of politics in the modern world.
