Hannah Arendt, Life and Thought
Hannah Arendt was born in 1906 and was a German philosopher and political theoretical that was nationalized by Jew:
- The origins of totalitarianism: the work talks about the 2 important movements that took place during the twentieth century that were Nazism and Stalinism, this work was known as one of the author’s most important and dedicated her to her husband sinceIt was one of the main inspirations for this work, this workers is composed of 3 books.
- Human condition: In addition to being an analysis, it is taken as the key to all the author’s works and it is also a basic text to understand where contemporaneity is directed.
- Eichmann in Jerusalem: it was a book that raised as a desire to improve his career, this book is not related or leave any trace of anti Sais.
- On the revolution: it is an essay that speaks about the 3 revolutions of the modern era, such as the French Revolution, it has a concept of the revolution as something necessary to change the course towards something new.
- Between the past and the future: it reflects on the political aspects and that left in the memory of many the aspects that are still used and makes special emphasis on thought.
- The life of the spirit: published after his death, follows the steps of his previous work the human condition and focuses on the 3 fundamental pillars that are thought, judgment and will.
- Responsibility and judgment: It is a work that talks about morals and is one of the works that one of the deepest studies of the most important concerns of our times does.
- What is politics?: After 2 important events that changed the author’s political thought, he wrote this work as a memory of these events.
Hannah Arendt’s life and thought, unlike many Hannah philosophers, maintained a monotonous thought throughout his life since he always maintained political thinking from the beginning, was an excellent student and had the help of teachers like Martin Heideggeror Karl Jaspers and was an important member of a group of German Jews with Hans Jonas among others. This thought is reflected in the work the battle of cherries since in this work he speaks of his thought in addition to being written in the Berlin period and this work reflects the concern of many thinkers. Between Hannah and her husband Anders there was always a lot. The most difficult problem for both Hannah and Anders was not only the geographical problem that also had to overcome the problem of disciplines, Anders was a writer, philosopher, essayist, journalist, who aims to criticize the world through the use of discipline. His wife did not like to be called a philosopher as a profession but liked the political theoretical term, Hannah’s problem is that she never knew how to start with an event since thought should never get away from reality. This is why Hannah has always been jointly related to philosophy and journalism.
In an interview he granted, he speaks that his works are not made to take effect but to understand the situation and seek meaning to the new events. This thought was very difficult to understand since in the period that is found it was very difficult since it was a somewhat tedious period the 2 world wars, use of the atomic bomb and the persecution of the Jews, all were constantly moving sinceIf they remained somewhere they could be captured. For Hannah understanding an imaginary museum to expose your works, understanding means explaining, but reflecting on all possibilities. The Republic used by these authors to be able to define the concept of policy, which cannot be left in the hands of representatives since none could carry it out, understanding to make the world more habitable for itself and for others.
Another issue that they touch is belonging another political issue on which the work of this author is based, whether something negative or hope to change the world. There are many words to understand the belonging that was, for example, the State, Hannah has told the life of the pariahs through biographies, lives that were left behind. Hannah seeks to reconnect with the present the elementary issues of existence, this urgency is responsible for the was, with which their speculations about politics begin to guide their way and to continue on a path that is politically correct.
Throughout his life Hannah showed a lotBase on luck but the apatrides no longer have room to stay because they love them anywhere. This is the case that most moves Hannah since he sees how his own roots are destroyed and leaving behind everything that has already been achieved as soon as he has room to stay and they continually seek to continue and continue to face adversities, in the article we refugeesHe speaks very well of this since he is almost a self-portrait, of Jewish refugees. She does not want material things but human rights are respected and deepens the situation already mentioned above. People who are deprived of their right not only lose the right to life but also the right to be oneself, she puts as a solution a world that is full of political sense and that is why Hannah raises much that the right is trulysubjective and therefore remodeled the limits and makes a mixture between legal and political perspective.
Human rights are like the right to have rights, it is a simple concept in a political world where the only purpose is to do relationships and this is not yet a fact, so after the controversy in the Eichmann case they blamed him not for notLoving the Jewish people, and responds that abstract love can become very dangerous. The only love in which he believes is the one who can demonstrate to a person and not to a simple entity.
It also talks about the political aspect of people since so that it has any effect there must be a space to be able to comment and decide on things, use a phrase which is politics is a common world in which to do relationships is or that it isIt gives meaning to life, all this takes it as a world that compares it with a table where all the people who have a relationship, if there was no relationship nobody would sit around the table, such as In-Between, relatesAnd separates human beings at the same time, totalitarianism is always the dark background of things for why Hannah has dedicated so long to do works to criticize this movement, as can be seen in the works is a world that Hannah has avoided playing andIt has always remained firm and from the outside the criticized so that no person can suffer and be known throughout the world.
The power for Hannah is simply the bond to be united, which means that power is nothing more than a simple concept of union, so Hannah relates power to violence since it corresponds to human capacity and power is notA priority of an individual, belongs to a group and will exist while united, so when someone is in power, not only that person should be taken since he has been put in that place for a certain number of people to act inyour name. Power must be understood among men and not on them so that these relationships improve and do not break so easily. If power loses its use, the reason for being.
Politics arises since power occurs when men begin something together, for Hannah, power comes as something that arises from a plurality not from a single individual, since a single man is helpless and cannot start anything. It is not possible to appropriate a power that arises from a plurality but that dissolves when it becomes individual possession, since the one who tries to demonstrate his strength will only encounter the impotence of not having achieved it, Hannah is based on Western culture forbe able to put it into practice. And finally Hannah looks at the origin of the power that always bases sovereignty on the plurality of the human condition that is enhanced when everyone joins. Hannah died on December 4, 1975 in New York after suffering a heart attack. Nowadays, his work continues to be studied, it is one of the most important women since it relates very directly to the German holocaust that occurred in Germany during World War II, a figure for refugees and for those who could not have the same destination, his books are a memory to all these people and tries to see the horror of all this time so that future generations do not comment on the same error that has already been caused, since we are talking about one of the worst times of historyof humanity and that she has managed to narrate in the first person, so it records it and that you learn from all that happened.
