Abstract: This paper addresses Hegel's theory of modern tragedy, as it is introduced in his comments on Schiller's Wallenstein. Taking this approach, as well as the differences between modern and classic tragedy as a point of departure, the paper analyzes the meaning and the viability of Hegel's well-known phrase: “God cannot abandon the world”. The paper concludes that the mediation of the construction of the modern State by the modern hero, a tragic character, makes it extremely difficult to ground a political theology, the only theory adequate to the above-mentioned Hegelian statement.

Keywords : Hegel; Schiller; Freud; tragedy; political theology; hero.
