Du « nous devenons » athénien au « on est » contemporain
From the Athenian “We Become” to the Impersonal and Contemporary “we are”

Summary/Abstract: A personal comparison between the Athenian democracy and the condition of the contemporary individual could develop a deeper understanding of both of them. While Athenians are characterized by a public and political life in communion, we suggest that the contemporary individual, hidden behind his “representation”, is guided by his own interest. So, Athenians were living accepting the figure of the Other, as the Athenian tragedy and Dionysus’ special status can show us, whilst the contemporary individual can be compared with Narcissus, who is rejecting this same figure.
