Hegel believed the Antigone tragedy not only revealed the national spirit of ancient Greece but was indeed the greatest artwork of all time. displaying the “Logic of History”, was the critical role Antigone tragedy played in the phenomenology of spirit from the standpoint of Hegel. This article will attempt to answer how Hegel reads Antigone's tragedy and how he observes the “Logic of History” in it. Ancient Greek society, In Hegel’s point of view, has constantly been the symbol of “unity of life”. however, Hegel believes that at certain times in history, this unity of ethical life and its state of joy in Greece has been destroyed. Since Hegel believes literary works have historical-cultural implications and considers art and literature as the first medium by which the spirit becomes self-conscious, in the section “True Spirit, ethical Life” from the book Phenomenology of Spirit, he describes the fall of the ethical life of Greek society by reading of the Antigone tragedy. What Hegel understood from the Antigone tragedy was a series of painful conflicts that ensued as a consequence of a contradiction between ethical powers within Greek society. powers that had heretofore been in unreflected unity, but now that their contradictions revealed, the ethical life of society collapsed and the spirit moved to a more rational and liberated stage. These stages are in fact very much the irreversible final course of history toward achieving freedom.

Abstract
This paper pursues Heidegger’s interpretation about the relation between Spirit and time (Being) in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. To this end, Heidegger’s critique of Hegel on the relationship between time and Spirit; Heidegger’s interpretation of the Phenomenology as exemplifying the Cartesian-Fichtean metaphysics of the subject; and its role in articulating the modern metaphysics of ‘subjectivity’ were examined. The purpose of this dialogue is the evaluation of problems like meaning of being, the relation between time and spirit, the problematic of finitude of being and infinitude of Spirit in philosophical confrontation between Hegel and Heidegger. Finally it is concluded that in Heidegger's view, time and temporality constitutes the nature of Spirit in Hegel's philosophy, and Hegel's Spirit is “…the absolute self-presentation of reason (ratio-logos) that it manifests itself as parousia of the Absolute. With this Heidegger’s interpretation of Hegel's concept of experience as subjectivity of subject, in his view, Hegel's philosophy inevitably leads to modern metaphysics of subjectivity which achieves its culmination in the modern technology. I argue that the Critique of some commentators to Heidegger is that he forgets those aspects of Hegel’s philosophy in his confrontation with Hegel like thinking of intersubjectivity, the historicity of the experience of spirit, the role of the problem of negativity in dialectical movement and his critique of modernity.
