DECONSTRUCCIÓN DE LO TRÁGICO. LA LITERATURA COMO APUESTA FILOSÓFICA Y POLÍTICA EN LACOUE- LABARTHE Y DERRIDAThis article aims to define and compare the different “deconstructions of the tragic” of Lacoue-Labarthe and Derrida in order to clarify the terms through which they have conceived the relationship between philosophy and literature, and in order to precise the difference in approaching the power of the negative, that is a distinctive instance of the tragic. The study of these notions also makes it possible to clarify the political impact of the literary issue in both authors, emphasizing the different inheritances (Greek or Abrahamic) to which they refer and the distance that these inheritances produce in their respective approaches.
