Eticidade e Moralidade na tragédia:: apontamentos sobre Hegel e F. Schiller

The aim of this paper is to show that the tragedy keeps an important affinity with metaphysical and external contents, what renders the tragedy something more relevant than merely theatrical representation. We propose, in this work, an approach between Schiller's point of view concerning the tragic art, as an element of expression and promotion of the morality in the political society, and Hegel's point of view about the Greek tragedy. We work, from Hegel, with the progress of the tragedy, as a form of dramatic poetry, that exposes, for the Greek antiquity, universal contents (ethical contents) and, later, for the modern world, we show how the loss of these contents, the loss of the ethical contents menaces the effectiveness of the tragedy as representation of these contents. At the same time, we tried to demonstrate that the failure of the modern tragedy, which becomes merely Trauerspiel, i.e., just a theatrical representation, incites, in parallel, the passage of a poetic perspective of the tragedy for a philosophy of the tragic.
