Editing Antigone (section)

===Analysis===
In the works of [[Hegel]], in particular in his discussion of [[Sittlichkeit]] in his ''[[Phenomenology of Spirit]]'' and his ''[[Elements of the Philosophy of Right]]'', Antigone is figured as exposing a tragic rift between the so-called feminine "Divine Law," which Antigone represents, and the "Human Law," represented by Creon. 
The Catholic philosopher [[Jacques Maritain]] considers Antigone as the "heroine of the natural law:"
:she was aware of the fact that, in transgressing the human law and being crushed by it, she was obeying a higher commandment—that she was obeying laws that were unwritten, and that had their origin neither today nor yesterday, but which live always and forever, and no one knows where they have come from.<ref> Maritain, J. (edited by Sweet, W., 2001). ''Natural law: Reflections on theory and practice.'' South Bend, IN: St. Augustine’s Press (p 26) </ref>
The psychoanalyst [[Jacques Lacan]] writes about the ethical dimension of Antigone in his Seminar VII, ''The Ethics of Psychoanalysis.'' Others who have written on Antigone include theorist [[Judith Butler]], in their book ''Antigone's Claim'', as well as philosopher [[Slavoj Žižek]], in various works, including ''Interrogating the Real'' (Bloomsbury: London, 2005) and ''The Metastases of Enjoyment'' (Verso: London, 1994).
