本文以黑格爾對索佛克里斯的悲劇作品《安提貢涅》的詮釋為分析的對象，藉此闡明《精神現象學》〈精神〉章的第一個環節：倫理性（Sittlichkeit）所蘊含的辯證發展關係。黑格爾以安提貢涅與克雷翁之間的衝突作為劇作所要表達的中心主旨，將兩人背後所蘊含的兩股勢力視為倫理實體自我分裂出來之兩套規律的象徵，透過波利奈克斯的埋葬帶出雙方的正面衝突－不僅是安提貢涅與克雷翁個人的衝突，更是家庭與國家、神律與人律、血親義務與公民職責之間的衝突，還是女性與男性之間的性別衝突。在倫理性的階段，個體與倫理實體具有直接的統一關係，並直接稟其受規範而行為，但其實現出來的倫理行為卻僅具片面性，必然導致過失，遭受痛苦。個體於此時承認其罪咎，而倫理性的辯證發展遂至此終結，由另一型態代之而起。

　　　　　This paper is intended to analyze Hegel's interpretation of Sophocles's tragedy Antigone in order to explicate a section in “Spirit” of Phenomenology of Spirit: Hegel took the conflict between Antigone and Creon to be the theme of the play and saw the respective forces behind them as two disciplined symbols that were fragments of ethical entities. The burial of Polynices brought out the conflicts not only between Antigone and Creon but also between family and country, the divine law and the human law, kin obligation and civil responsibility, women and men. In terms of Sittlichket, the relationship between individuals and ethical entities is direct, united, and subject to norms as well. But the resulting ethical behavior is only partial and will definitely leads to errors and pains. While individuals admit their sins, the dialectic development of Sittlichkeit ends and is replaced by another kind of development.
