Abstract

Schlegel’s irony, which is the main author along with Solger, of irony in German romanticism, becomes a reinterpretation of the figure of the ironic Plato’s Socrates . Nevertheless, his proposal of a pragmatic irony was rejected in a violent way by Hegel and Kierkegaard, that reread Socrates and his irony in a different sense of Schlegel. For these the proposal of the romantic author was a challenge to the society that would end up destroying it, but, from our perspective such semantic reading of the schlegelian irony is very weak and, rather, the proposal of the German writer can be understood like a way of a constructive critic of the political community and we can learn much of Schlegel today.La ironía de Schlegel, máximo representante, junto con Solger, de la ironía en el romanticismo alemán supuso una reinterpretación de la figura del Sócrates irónico de Platón. Sin embargo, su propuesta de una ironía pragmática fue rechazada de manera violenta por Hegel y Kierkegaard, que releyeron a Sócrates y su ironía enfrentándola a la de Schlegel. Para estos la propuesta del autor romántico era un reto a la sociedad que acabaría destruyéndola, pero, desde nuestra perspectiva tal lectura semántica de la ironía schlegeliana no se sostiene y, más bien, la propuesta del escritor alemán puede entenderse como un modo de crítica constructiva de la comunidad política de la que todavía hoy podemos aprender mucho
