Being political and the reconstruction of public discourse: Hannah Arendt on experience, history and the spectator
No full textThis study analyses a number of Hannah Arendt’s books and essays written over fourdecades and suggests that a common thread can be detected that links together thedifferent stages of her thought. The need to do this follows from having to treat withcaution Arendt’s own judgement that in the mid-1930s her thinking changed when shebecame political. In relation to writings she produced throughout her life, what can beseen is that she was actually preoccupied by one and the same question, namely, whatit means to be with other people, she just looked for answers in different places andused different methods. The study shows how in her dissertation on Saint Augustine’streatment of love and such early published pieces as ‘The Enlightenment and theJewish Question’ and her commentary on Rilke’s Duino Elegies, Arendt was alreadychallenging Heidegger’s ontology, in Being and Time, of ‘being-with-one-another’.Her thinking at this time was purely empirical though, dependent upon interpretationsof history alone. Her later work, The Origins of Totalitarianism and The HumanCondition, for instance, reveal that Arendt’s political conversion amounted to therealisation that ontology and history are as necessary to each other as Kant’s conceptsand intuitions. Her defence of plurality therefore, represented both a reaction to theevils of totalitarianism on the grounds that it is an anti-political form of government,and a revised challenge to Heidegger’s assessment of das Man on his own terms. Inaddition though, Arendt’s depiction of public space and public discourse, suggestedthat choosing to be with others politically, is an antidote to the solitude of theindividual engendered by mass society

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
Da construção à ruptura: repensando o direito a partir da ação política em Hannah Arendt
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito, Florianópolis, 2010A presente dissertação tem como principal objetivo apresentar a teoria da ação de Hannah Arendt como uma alternativa válida a partir da qual se pode pensar tanto o papel da política quanto do direito em uma perspectiva de perda da tradição, tal como se evidencia na modernidade. Para tanto, o trabalho se divide em três partes. Inicialmente, propõe-se um retorno até o limiar desta tradição, quando a filosofia rompe definitivamente com a vida na polis e estabelece a vita contemplativa como padrão da conduta humana, em detrimento da política. Posteriormente, na segunda parte, a idéia é debater o processo de alienação do mundo, que implica em uma sobrevalorização do sujeito e uma redução da política e do direito à mera administração da vida. É neste espaço, em que os homens vivem isolados uns dos outros, preocupados com seus interesses privados, que os regimes totalitários encontram seu principal apoio em sua tarefa de eliminar a espontaneidade humana, subjugando o homem às leis irresistíveis da história ou da Natureza. Como resposta à ruptura totalitária, Arendt sugere a revalorização da ação política e da esfera pública como o espaço instituinte na modernidade. Portanto, a ordem jurídica, que oferece a estabilidade necessária para a constituição de um espaço público, deve ser constantemente atualizada por meio participação política
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

Assessing the critical capacities of democracy through the work of Hannah Arendt and Jurgen Habermas: the occlusion of public space and the rise of homo spectaculorum
No full textThis thesis is an exploration of the condition of critical debate in contemporary liberal democracies that is based upon a combined reading of the works of Hannah Arendt and Jurgen Habermas. It begins with an elaboration of the position that Arendt and Habermas identify a similar malaise as afflicting modern liberal democracies, which is argued to result from a shared perception that such democracies fail to create a forum for critical public engagement. The argument that their democratic theories are highly complementary is further developed through an examination of their solutions to this critical failure, for these solutions reflect a sharing of important premises concerning the nature of power and freedom on the parts of Habermas and Arendt. A complementary reading of Arendt and Habermas also allows for a synthesis of their theories that results in a highly coherent picture of the form and processes of an ideal democratic forum. This synthesis of Habermas and Arendt, however, also suggests (or, at least, allows for the theorising of) the emergence of a new genus of political actor who is unlikely to engage in such a forum - a genus hereafter referred to as homo spectaculorum.
This thesis, therefore, makes three related claims. The first, and most important, is that it is possible to read Arendt and Habermas together as highly compatible democratic theorists and that their analysis of contemporary political conditions presents a single position from which to view the critical failings of liberal democracies. The second claim is that synthesising Arendt's and Habermas's democratic theories enables the theorising of an ideal public space, along with the emergence of homo spectaculorum. The third, and final, claim made in this thesis is that the same conditions that lead to the emergence of homo spectaculorum can be understood to undermine the emancipatory potential otherwise proffered through critical public spaces
