Lugar: Wien; Año: 2009; p. 9 - 22

My aim in this work is to examine the main conceptual charasteristics of the idea of tragic conflict. In addition, I discuss the relation between tragedy and tragic conflicts, the idea of sacrifice of values, and the problem of unovoidable evil. As regards tragic conflicts, I propose the notion of non right answer as main challenge for practial rationality.
