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.
