Forever Younger: A Reading of Sophocles ’Antigone‘
Comparative and Continental Philosophy 1 (1):55-75 (2009)
Abstract
The article interprets the title figure of Sophocles’ Antigone as growing younger, more delicate, and more fragile with each successive scene of the play. It is as though she were living in the Age of Cronos as recounted in Plato’s Statesman. The article expands on the thesis developed in chapters 9-11 of my book The Tragic Absolute: German Idealism and the Languishing of GodMy notes
