Resumo: The objective is to analyze some connected interpretations about the tension between two conceptions of díke in Oedipus the King. As tragedies occupied a privileged role in the Greek polis, it may be said that the tragic presentations were a political institution. It also may be said that the pieces reflected the conflict between an established set of traditional values and the new democratic order. Such tension could be found in the investigation promoted by Oedipus, and it is manifested by two forms of justice, that is, justice defined by its divine origin and human justice. Firstly, this article describes the relationship between tragedy and the polis; next, it points the conflict expressed in democratic experience and reflected in tragedy; finally, it examines the possible rational articulation between traditional díke and its human counterpart.

Como as tragédias ocupavam um papel privilegiado na pólis ateniense, pode-se dizer que as exibições e festividades trágicas eram uma verdadeira instituição política. Não por acaso se pode afirmar que as peças apontavam para um conflito entre os valores aristocráticos tradicionais e a nova ordem democrática. Tal tensão pode ser evidenciada na investigação promovida por Édipo que se manifesta em duas formas de justiça, uma de origem divina e outra, humana. Para tanto, este texto, em um primeiro momento, descreve a relação entre tragédia e pólis; após essa introdução, assinala o conflito que se desenhava na democracia e que se reflete nas tragédias; por fim, examina a possível articulação racional entre a díke tradicional e sua contrapartida humana.Aufklärung: Journal of Philosophy2023-12-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufpb.br/index.php/arf/article/view/6585710.18012/arf.v10i3.65857Aufklärung; Vol. 10 No. 3 (2023): September-December; p.161-176Aufklärung: journal of philosophy; v. 10 n. 3 (2023): Setembro-Dezembro; p.161-1762318-94282358-8470reponame:Aufklärung (João Pessoa.
