The contemporary ethical-political community: On the border of universal law and singular law

This paper seeks to trace the limits of the speculative discourse in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit in order to rethink the contemporary ethical-political community. Two axes will guide the reflection. The movement of Antigone who, in her progress, triggers the “creation of worlds” that question the problem of ontological production. And the “insurmountable paradox” triggered by her action, whose mark will reveal the impossibility of the end of the definitive reconciliation of the ethical-political community, since it modifies the speculative conception of unity by guiding the vision of the human spirit, not only to achieve the unified experience but also the inevitable recognition of its limits.
