The Tragic of the World in Max Scheler and Judith Butler

Original language description

In my paper I would like to deal with the tragic as a feature of the world, as the way the world shows itself, in the texts of Max Scheler and Judith Butler. The subject of the tragic, according to Scheler, is not the condition of the ego, nor is it an individual event in the world. “The remote subject of the tragic is always the world itself, the world taken as a whole which makes such a thing possible. This “world” itself seems to be the object immersed in sorrow” (Max Scheler, “On the Tragic”). According to Scheler, the tragic always at the same time signifies the destruction of a value. In my paper I will focus firstly on Judith Butler’s pandemic phenomenology (Judith Butler, What World is this? A Pandemic Phenomenology), which asks the question “what kind of world is it in which such destruction is possible?”, and secondly I will try to rethink the “hierarchy of values” that Scheler’s conception of the tragic seems to presuppose.
