Hannah Arendt y la defensa de lo político
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2015-07) Nieves, Gerardo
Sometimes I ask myself: Why Hannah Arendt is not widespread and known by contemporary politicians, especially some of Latin America, Middle East and Africa ? So is there something that in her annoys to the “politics professionals ? H. Arendt reflects the main concepts of politics theory, from the Nazi experience, lived and experienced by the prosperous Germany today. It is true that H. Arendt didn’t write making its way Latin America, but her research, I think, that it can ventilate policies that they are tired citizens, who seeks another way to act in politics. For H. Arendt, the politics community is constitutional; it is not cultural, religious, or natural origin. It comes from consensus that having origins in a plurality of different points of view and argued. This community requires a public space. It is not seeking the common good, but the public good, and the citizens live in a state that have rights and duties. It must create a space of freedom from the plurality, by the action and word.
