Hannah Arendt and Modern Politics مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

In fact, in most of her works, Arendt examines philosophy as one of the main reasons and causes for the fall of modernity into the trap of twentieth-century totalitarian ideologies; yet, it is not surprising that she simultaneously sees the only way to fight this danger in philosophical thought. Perhaps for this reason, Arendt's last book, which is titled The Life of the Mind-1 and has been published in two volumes, is actually an attempt to propose three important categories: thought, will, and judgment, and the general connection that these three have with the foundation and basis of human life, namely the public sphere. Therefore, her goal in organizing such a philosophy is not to think about a new utopian society, but rather, as is customary in Arendt's thought and works, the ultimate goal is to pose questions regarding the nature of politics and the way humans live politically. 3. Political Action and the World of Plurality From Arendt's attention to the two concepts of action and speech and their role in shaping the public space of humans, it can be concluded that her goal in thinking about politics is to provide the existential conditions for the political experience. " Perhaps for this reason, Arendt sees the concept of "work" as closer to the political sphere, because, according to her, through producing, humans create institutions and public spaces in which they themselves engage in activity. Therefore, from Arendt's perspective, "action," unlike "labour," is a public concept, because it is an exercise that takes place in the world of plurality and alongside other humans.
