Abstract

Političko i socijalno temeljni su fenomeni kojima je posvećena politička teorija H. Arendt. Temeljem analize osnovnih ljudskih aktivnosti Arendt pokazuje da je došlo do distorzije ključnih političkih pojmova. To je imalo važne posljedice za naše suvremeno razumijevanje fenomena političkog i socijalnog. Arendt uočava da je obrtanjem hijerarhijskog poretka aktivnosti unutar vitae activae došlo ne samo do, prema njoj, pogrešnog vrednovanja temeljnih ljudskih aktivnosti, već i da politika gubi na važnosti u suvremenom društvu. Štoviše, smatra ju se opasnom za sam čovjekov opstanak. Zbog toga je njena teorija usredotočena na vraćanje ispravnog značenja pojmova u političku debatu. Arendt pokazuje da je prodorom socijalnih preokupacija u politiku nastao novi fenomen, društvo. Arendt napominje da ljudi koji ostaju isključivo članovi društva nikada ne potvrđuju svoju egzistenciju jer to mogu činiti samo kao politički akteri u javnoj sferi. Ostajući na razni pripadnika vrste, zakinuti su za puno potvrđivanje svoje egzistencije kao punopravnih članova čovječanstva. Arendt zbog toga ukazuje na nedostatke i probleme koji nastaju uslijed dominacije socijalnog nad političkim.

Abstract (english)

The political and the social are the core phenomena that Hannah Arendts' political theory is dedicated to. By analyzing fundamental human activities, Arendt notes a distortion of key political concepts. This had an important impact on our contemporary understanding of the political and the social phenomena. Arendt observes that the reorganization of the hierarchical order of the vita activa’s activities and wrongful evaluation of fundamental human activities led not only to the misjudgement of fundamental human activities, but also to the loss of value of the political in the contemporary society. In fact, politics is considered a threat to human existence. This is why her theory focuses on restoring the correct meanings of concepts to the political debate. Arendt shows that by penetration of the social preoccupations into politics a new phenomenon has emerged, the society. Arendt stresses that people who remain exclusive members of the society never confirm their existence because they can do this only as political actors in the public sphere. Existing only as members of the species, they fail to fully confirm their existence as full – fledged members of the mankind. For this reason, Arendt points to the shortcomings and problems that arise from the domination of the social over the political.
