Svoboda med politično pravico in etično dolžnostjo: Primer Antigone

The article discusses Sophocles’ Antigone as a figure of resistance against authority, act­ing beyond political rationality and grounding her actions in an inner ethical duty. Her decision stems from an autonomous moral will to act according to what she perceives as right, regardless of consequences or political advantage. At the center of the analysis lies the question: Is freedom merely a political right, or also an existential duty? Through psychoanalysis, historical interpretation, and philosophical analysis, the article seeks to demonstrate that Antigone’s resistance transcends traditional political acts, thereby es­tablishing a parallel with today’s socio-political landscape and the growing resistance of youth against repressive regimes. The article defends an interpretation of Antigone as a paradigm of the individual whose resistance is radically ethical and simultaneously apo­litical – of the individual who believes that such resistance is oriented by an inner duty to truth, dignity, the people, and oneself.
