소포클레스의 『안티고네』에 나타난 도덕 개념과 법적 정의

This paper sheds light on the changes of both the moral concepts and the representation forms resulting from the rise of the new social system. These changes are embodied in and are partially constitutive of the narratives of Greek Tragedy. Therefore, it is needed to understand the different moral concepts in an extension of tragic agon. The different moral concepts between Homeric unified society and the early total society coexist in Sophocles’ Antigone. Creon’s man-made law and Antigone’s eternal laws are discussed in relation to the crime of hubris. Their antinomic moral concepts compete for justice. That's why Tragedy is to be invited to the arena of philosophical judgement. By keeping track of the tragic in the matter of law, the Antigone drives the characters to the abyss of beings. It is true that the tragic archetype and the problematic law are combined with aesthetic manners in the Antigone. As neither of the characters substantially recognizes the ideas of the other, it is not possible to have a recognition for commonality. The Antigone, however, tries to get over conflicting moral concepts with the process of Freud’s Totem and Taboo. Although the rise of the new socio-cultural backgrounds causes moral concepts and representation forms to be changed, the imagination of the representation in turn reflects the presentation of human experience. The third moral concept imagined in the Antigone leads to a new discourse topography on legal justice.
