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
Hannah Arendt and the political : the contemporary challenges posed by sovereignty, nationalism and imperialism
No full textThis thesis seeks to show how the reassessment of Arendt’s thought for contemporary international political theory must be grounded in her first major published work, The Origins of Totalitarianism, and, more specifically, in the concept of the political she outlines therein. The thesis begins by examining how Arendt interprets the political sui generis. It shows how this concept, which influences much of her scholarship from the 1950s onwards and serves as a critical measure against which she assesses modern-day events, is disclosed for the first time in Part II of Origins through her engagement with particular topics and phenomena related to European colonial imperialism. Using this somewhat neglected text as a point of departure, the main body of the thesis examines Arendt’s thoughts on three ‘anti-political’ impulses of the contemporary world that have clear international ramifications: sovereignty, nationalism and imperialism. The work is divided into three corresponding sections. Each contains a chapter providing an interpretive study of Arendt’s text on the subject, followed by a chapter applying the key themes, insights and dangers previously highlighted to some of the most intractable global situations today such as the international human rights regime, atomic weaponry and war, biopolitical control, genocide studies and neoliberal globalisation. In so doing, the thesis does not aim to ‘find’ in Arendt’s work determinate answers to the crises of our time, but rather to use her perceptions as critical inspiration to think about them differently
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

"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.
3
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
