Reading ‘Antigone’ with Hegel

July 3, 2015 by Erik Weissengruber 1 Comment

Listeners to the PEL Antigone episodes who want to dig deeper into the meaning of the play can benefit from Mark W. Roche’s overview of Hegel’s remarks on tragedy, put forth in his essay “Introduction to Hegel’s Theory of Tragedy.” Roche specifies four Hegelian questions audiences might ask of any tragedy in an attempt to understand its characters and their interactions, and the ultimate outcomes.

Ep 117 Aftershow: Antigone

June 25, 2015 by Mark Linsenmayer 1 Comment

Featuring Danny Lobell, Wes Alwan, David Buchanan, Daniel Cole, Erik Weissengruber, Frank Marcopolos, and Terra Leigh Bell. We talked a little about how to distinguish acting on principle from acting out of personal pride (and whether these can be distinguished); whether Creon is just drunk with power or believes he’s doing the right thing; and about a whole host of other marginally related things, including race and Rachel Dolezal.
Recorded 6/25/15.

About The Partially Examined Life

The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don’t have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we’re talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion

Become a PEL Citizen!
