비극과 근대적 주체성의 생성 - 헤겔의 『정신현상학』에서 비극과 “법적 상태”의 해석 -

Hegel seizes the autonomy, the liberalistic principle, the authenticity, and the communitarism principle as different moments of the same modern subjectivity and tries to reconcile the two. This study tries to prove that Hegel prepares the genealogy of modern subjectivity by the analysis of the ancient tragedy and the “legal status” in Phänomenologie of the spirit. Hegel thinks that the reconciliation of the two principles is possible only by the understanding of the genealogy of the two and of the origin of their conflict. Hegel determines the principle of “general individuality” from the act of the burial of Antigone in Antigone. Burying her brother is pulling the particular of the natural process into the mental. As a result of this, ancient Greek ethics buckle and the genesis of modern subjectivity becomes possible. “Legal status” can be understood in its implementation, which can be understood as the mutual movement of the two moments, d.i. autonomy and authenticity. The autonomy of the person seems to guarantee the absolute equality, but this is only a concept, which is leer and powerless. The principle of self law-giving autonomy is insufficient to realize this concept. Autonomy can be realized only by authenticity. The realization of autonomy means that of authenticity; one needs the other. But the right that the individual looks for his own good and realizes the self, the principle of the authenticity is not enough to realize the principle of the “general individuality.” If the principle of authenticity could be realized without a framework of law, the result would be a chaotic social state. The principle of authenticity can be realized only if the principle of autonomy is recognized simultaneously. In this sense autonomy and authenticity are complementary to each other.
