Tragedy and philosophy

Hegel and Nietzsche present two of the most important discussions of tragedy and philosophy since Aristotle.

Nietzsche claims to be the first tragic philosopher, and Hegel boasted that he had read all the Greek tragedies. Tragedy presents a challenge to rational thought because it implies a conflict in reason itself, i.e., that reason contradicts itself.
Tragic conflict is not a conflict of right and wrong, but of right with right.

Hegel’s concept of dialectical reason is a reason that sustains and endures contradiction. At issue is the question whether tragedy excludes reconciliation, or whether there is tragic reconciliation.
