Abstract:
While analyzing the notion of post-modernism, the question that arises is whether the significances, the notions, and the worldviews of ancient Greek tragedy can be "transferred" and fully comprehended and appreciated. To answer the question, two types of antithesis are used: the first relates to the distinction between the transfer and the rendering of ancient tragedy and the second looks into the relationship between synchronicity and diachronicity, which finally defines the modern perspective. Based on these distinctions, the criticism of the post-modern worldview (deconstruction of meaning, formalism, and instrumentalisation of art) leads us to the examination of the possibility of an organic relationship between ancient tragedy and the modern conception of the world.
