Education toward Moral Decision-Making Maturity: Antigone and the Hermeneutic Conflict of Interpretation 2300-EMG-OG
In the final stanza of Antigone, the chorus representing the people of Thebes (most probably the old men as the young have died in the battle) praises wisdom on the way to happiness: “There is no happiness where there is no wisdom: πολλώ το φρονείν ευδαιμονίας πρώτον υπάρχει. In the pursuit of wisdom, a human being is questioning the capacity of reasoning and experiences different conflicts, particularly at a time of crisis (Karl Jaspers’ Grenzsituationen in his Psychologie der Weltanschauungen). Our hermeneutic reading of Sophocles’ Antigone addresses a series of accounts of social and religious conflicts (the Athenian culture clash between the laws of the state and their religious convictions) without falling victim to the moralistic interpretation of Antigone as the ultimate figure of ethical resistance. By considering the perspectives of people involved in the conflict, we recognize not only uncertainty and the limits of knowledge, but the importance of wise judgment and personal integrity. Despite the differences in understanding the continuity between life and after-death, the question of personal identity and the general transmutation presents the real task for thinking. Understanding the moral imperative of facing tragic conflicts of goods and values cannot be separated from the existential question of the (in)capability of love and the fragility of goodness.
