The Review of Politics | 1984

Hannah Arendts political theory gains in clarity and resonance when it is placed in the context of German phenomenology and Existenz philosophy. In this essay, the authors examine the points of contact (on the level of ideas rather than personal ties) between Arendt and Martin Heidegger. The argument holds that Arendt followed Heidegger in grafting traditional humanism onto an untraditional, self-consciously antimetaphysical body of thought. Yet almost from the beginning, she struck out in a direction peculiarly her own, seeking to escape a certain contemplative aloofness and remoteness from public affairs which she sensed in Heideggers fundamental ontology. Against Heidegger, Arendt tried to show that the core values of human rights and dignity cannot be sustained unless one explicitly recognizes the “plurality” of human life and the importance of the public realm in revealing who we are as individuals.
The Review of Politics | 1991

There has been much debate about how to locate Hannah Arendt within the tradition of political philosophy. This article argues for an “existentialist” reading, claiming that Karl Jasperss categories reappear, politicized, in Arendts own thought. Her language and arguments do not, in fact, become completely intelligible until read in the context of Jasperss Existentz philosophy. The authors contend that the apparent obscurity and ambiguity of Arendts writings owe to her attempt to stretch the framework of existentialism to fit the milieu of classical antiquity, to which it is fundamentally alien. Conversely, Arendt appropriated only those aspects of Aristotelian theory that suited her existentially defined concerns while ignoring the rest, a procedure that accounts for many of the tensions and contradictions found in her work.

Das Agonale, von gr. agon (Wettstreit), ist ein von Arendt an der griechischen Polis entwickelter Aspekt der Offentlichkeit als Erscheinungsraum Handelnder. Der Begriff selbst findet sich bei Arendt nur gelegentlich, und zwar adjektiviert (als »agonaler Geist« VA 187), wurde aber von der Sache her fur die Arendt-Rezeption bedeutsam (so unter Abzug der maskulinistischen Komponenten bei Honig 1995, 1993; kritischer Villa 1999; Benhabib 1998, 201 unterscheidet zwischen einem agonalen und einem kommunikativen Handlungsmodell bei Arendt). Arendt zufolge eroffnete die Polis ihren Mitgliedern einen Erscheinungsraum »des heftigsten und unerbittlichsten Wettstreits« (VA 42), in dem jeder in Tat, Wort und Leistung Vortreffliches zu leisten hatte, um sich vor den anderen auszuzeichnen. Dieses Sich-Auszeichnen durch Sich-an-Anderen-Messen (VA 187) unterscheidet die griechische Polis von der modernen Gesellschaft, in der das Sich-Verhalten freies Handeln weitgehend verdrangt hat.
