【 摘 要 】

This paper approaches Hegel’s theory of modern tragedy, as it is introduced in his comments on Schiller’s Wallenstein. Taking this approach, and its differences with classic tragedy, as a point of departure, the paper will continue with the analysis of the meaning and the viability of Hegel’s known phrase: “God cannot abandon the world”. At the end, the paper arrives to the conclusion that the mediation in the construction of the modern State of the modern hero, in itself a tragic character, makes extremely difficult the grounding of a political theology, the only theory adequate to above mentioned Hegelian phrase.
