| contents | An Arendtian Reading of Antigone: Tyrrany Emerging from Righteousness Efe Basturk Filosofía Creon Tyranny Antigone Hamartia Phronesis The aim of this article is to investigate the tyrannical similarity between Antigone and Creon through Hannah Arendt’s political philosophy. As Arendt claimed, tyranny firstly signals the end of the political through which men can share their natality. The very meaning of tyranny is the domination by absoluteness that ends deliberation among mortal beings. Antigone only focuses on the divine law, which is seen as absolute righteousness that precedes the law of the city, and so, she tends to ignore any other option on rightfulness. This article aims to show that not only Creon but also Antigone can be regarded as a tyrant, since Antigone tends to sublime her dedication to an infallible justice, causing her to deny any other claim on justice. 2022 artículo científico 1392-1126 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=694573720006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6945/694573720006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6945/694573720006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6945/694573720006/694573720006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6945/694573720006/movil https://doi.org/10.15388/Problemos.101.6 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6945 Problemos application/pdf Vilniaus Universitetas Problemos (Lituania) Vol.101 |
