Abstract

For Kant the fundamental question, which sums up the sense of every other philosophical inquiry, is “What is man?”. Although there is a seemingly immense distance between their philosophical reflections, Aristotle and Hegel give an answer to this question, which shows a surprising affinity both with respect to its content and to the systematical point where they expound this problem with great intensity. For both of them, indeed, the essence of man is manifested in action and the structure of genuine and intrinsic action, caught in its complete perfection, reveals a tragic aspect.
