Hannah Arendt: "The Human Condition" and the single thought
No full textopenPartendo dalla biografia della filosofa Hannah Arendt e dalla sua esperienza in quanto ebrea durante la seconda guerra mondiale, verrà fatta un’analisi del processo ad Eichmann come esempio di male banale che si insinua nella società laddove manca una coscienza politica. In ultimo, riprendendo lo scopo dell’opera di Hannah Arendt “Vita Activa”, verrà descritta l’importanza di un esercizio della politica continuo e attivo per contrastare il cosiddetto pensiero unico che, secondo l’autrice stessa, ha portato al sopravvento dei totalitarismi del secolo scorso.Starting from the biography of the philosopher Hannah Arendt and her experience as a Jew during the Second World War, an analysis of the Eichmann trial will be made as an example of banal evil that insinuates itself into society where there is no political conscience. Finally, taking up the purpose of Hannah Arendt's work "The Human Condition", the importance of a continuous and active exercise of politics will be described to counter the so-called single thought that, according to the author herself, led to the prevalence of the totalitarianisms of the last century
The light of the eye : doctrine, piety and reform in the works of Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen
No full textBibliography: leaves 376-401.This thesis investigates the ways in which three eighteenth-century writers, Bishop Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen embody orthodox Anglican doctrine according to their individual perceptions of the enlightening properties of Protestant Christianity. After situating them in their respective gender, literary and ecclesiastical contexts, I examine some of their key doctrines and analyse excerpts from their works. My selection of passages from Sherlock's works is fairly comprehensive, but in the case of More and Austen, where there is already a formidable body of literary criticism, it is more selective. Thus, I focus on doctrine in More's tracts, Strictures on the System of Female Education, An Essay on St Paul and most especially Coelebs in Search of a Wife and in the case of Austen, on her prayers and select passages from Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park. I conclude that, although diverse in their particular kind of Anglicanism (High, Evangelical and Median) and in their choice of genre, transparency or obscurity (anonymity and pseudonymity) and the various narratological strategies some of them invoke to circumvent certain taboos, Sherlock, More and Austen champion the same central orthodox doctrines, defend them against current alternatives to orthodoxy such as Latitudinarianism, Deism and various forms of Freethinking, and promote similar moral and ecclesiastical reforms. However, indirectly (through female characters who resist male representation or control) the women writers subject their ostensibly authorially-endorsed male narrators/characters to scrutiny and sometimes (when the males objectify the women) subversion

"In this moment of alarm and peril": Female Education, Religion and Politics In the Late Eighteenth Century, With special reference to Catharine Macaulay and Hannah More
No full textPhDCatharine Macaulay and Hannah More are conventionally represented as
ideological opposites. Through an analysis which centres on their writings, this
thesis critically examines that representation, and more broadly explores
contemporary perceptions of the roles of women of the middling sort in the late
eighteenth century. It argues that revolution, particularly the French Revolution,
created a climate wherein the duties of women became the subject of increasing
debate. The discussion challenges and builds upon recent work on women's
writing and history, by examining how and why the role of women changed at this
time. This work is concerned with contemporary representations of women, and
concentrates on analysis of primary texts and archival material over a wide range
of genres, including educational treatises, plays, popular tracts, political pamphlets,
historical writing and newspapers - the latter proving a major resource.
Following a critical introduction, the thesis falls into four chapters. Chapter one
discusses the reputation, critical reception and public fame of Macaulay and More,
thereby providing insights into contemporary sexual and social politics. Women
were considered arbiters of morals and manners - believed to play a vital role in
ensuring social stability - and the second chapter examines how the threat of
revolution led to increasing anxiety and debate about the nature of female
education. The third and fourth chapters discuss religion and politics respectively,
and argue that beliefs about the interdependency of Church and State, together with
the feminization of religion, legitimized women's involvement in politics and
enlarged their sphere of influence.

The conclusion argues that the political and religious climate provided
opportunities for women to reassess and redefine their roles; while often remaining
within parameters defined by commonly held perceptions of femininity, they
politicized the domestic, extended female agency, and elevated the status of
women
Hannah Arendt's political ontology
No full textSeeking a more global as well as historical and philosophically situated understanding of the thought of the German philosopher and political theorist Hannah Arendt, this thesis investigates the paths through which the author undertakes in her work, in a consistent movement of critical appropriation of the central theses that shape the contemporary philosophical traditions that helped in making of her a thinker, a philosophical turn of great ontological consequences. We have, therefore, as a general objective, to make explicit how Arendt, starting from the contemporary intersection between the phenomenological, existentialist and hermeneutic traditions, conceives a fundamentally political ontology, inserting the category of plurality, central to her thought, within philosophical thinking, so as to implode its traditional foundations. More than a regional ontology of the political dimension of human existence, what Hannah Arendt puts forward is a philosophy based on a notion of Being always constituted from plurality as a fundamental ontological condition of human existence. In this sense, we will try, from the outset, to find the ontological and methodological core of Arendt's thought in its relationship with the thought of authors such as Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Karl Jaspers and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, among others. Starting, then, from such a radical theoretical contextualization, we will seek, centrally, first, to conceive the properly Arendtian way of phenomenologically describing the world that, in its daily actualization, human existence, so to speak, opens up for itself. From there, taking as a touchstone the important Arendtian distinction between truth and meaning, we will propose a systematizing interpretation of the core of Arendtian ontology around the understanding of the structural articulations of the phenomenal world and the human dynamics of meaning donation. Finally, an effort will be made to understand and bring to light, in an indicative way, the deep relationships between this radically philosophical-ontological scenario and the more well-known and widely studied, although with often divergent results, thema of Arendtian political thought. In this process, will emerge the contours of a philosophical normativity, present in Arendt's thought will, that points to an understanding of democracy as an ontologically grounded imperative of human existence.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Tendo em vista a busca por uma compreensão mais global e histórico-filosoficamente situada do pensamento da filósofa e teórica política alemã Hannah Arendt, esta tese investiga os caminhos pelos quais a autora empreende em sua obra, numa dinâmica consistente de apropriação crítica das teses centrais que conformam as tradições filosóficas contemporâneas que diretamente a formaram enquanto pensadora, uma virada filosófica de amplas implicações ontológicas. Temos, assim, como objetivo geral, tornar explícito como Arendt, partindo do entrecruzamento contemporâneo entre as tradições fenomenológica, existencialista e hermenêutica, concebe uma ontologia fundamentalmente política, inserindo a categoria da pluralidade, central ao seu pensamento, no seio do pensar filosófico, de modo a implodir seus alicerces tradicionais. Mais do que uma ontologia regional da dimensão política da existência humana, Hannah Arendt nos propõe uma filosofia fundada numa noção de ser constituída sempre desde a pluralidade enquanto condição ontológica fundamental da existência humana. Nesse sentido, trataremos, desde um primeiro momento, de encontrar o cerne ontológico e metodológico do pensamento de Arendt em sua relação para com o pensamento de autores como Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Karl Jaspers e Maurice Merleau-Ponty, dentre outros. Partindo, então, de um tal enraizamento, buscaremos, centralmente, primeiro, conceber o modo propriamente arendtiano de descrever fenomenologicamente o mundo que, em sua atualização cotidiana, a existência
humana, por assim dizer, abre para si. E, em seguida, tendo como pedra de toque a importante distinção arendtiana entre verdade e sentido, proporemos uma interpretação sistematizadora do núcleo da ontologia arendtiana em torno da compreensão das articulações estruturais do mundo fenomênico e da dinâmica humana de significação do mesmo. Por fim, se fará o esforço por compreender e trazer à tona, de modo indicativo, as relações profundas entre esse cenário radicalmente filosófico-ontológico e o panorama mais bem conhecido e vastamente estudado, ainda que com resultados muitas vezes divergentes, do pensamento político arendtiano. Se farão notar, nesse processo, os contornos de uma normatividade filosófica presente no pensamento de Arendt que aponta para um entendimento da democracia como imperativo ontologicamente fundamentado da existência humana
