Whilst introducing rupture, conflict, tearing, aporia, disaster, Aeschylean tragic does not avoid to develop, on the one hand, the question of human being as inextricably linked to the divine and, on the other hand, the need for the creation or preservation of meaning, for condensing and fixing a certain understanding of the human and divine situation in the world. This understanding grows within a non finito that fractures both the divine and the human who are in perpetual formation, and does not eliminate the desire for a final conciliation. In this way, the Aeschylean thought offers a genuine perspective on the education of man and the care for humanity.
