In this essay I intend to examine and discuss three theses that recurrently appear in the works of Friedrich Dürrenmatt. I shall first identify the three theses in order to clarify the focus of my research. Dürrenmatt puts forward at least three theses to relating to 1. the paradoxical nature of human justice; 2. the demystification of apparent atheistic nihilism; 3. the neutralising effect of the contradiction inherent in divine justice. The conclusion I will try to reach is that if one accepts the three above-stated theses, justice is broken, but not irreparably.

Abstract
In this essay I intend to examine and discuss three theses that recurrently appear in the works of Friedrich Dürrenmatt. I shall first identify the three theses in order to clarify the focus of my research. Dürrenmatt puts forward at least three theses to relating to 1. the paradoxical nature of human justice; 2. the demystification of apparent atheistic nihilism; 3. the neutralising effect of the contradiction inherent in divine justice. The conclusion I will try to reach is that if one accepts the three above-stated theses, justice is broken, but not irreparably.File in questo prodotto:
