Hannah Arendt (1906 –1975)
was a German-American philosopher and political theorist. She is one of the most important political philosophers of the twentieth century.
The notion of crisis is central to Arendt’s work. In Between Past and Future, her collection of eight exercises crisis in political thought. The third and the fourth essays are entitled, respectively, “What Is Authority?” and “What is Freedom?” The following two texts bear the titles “The Crisis in Education” and “The Crisis in Culture.”
The interrelation of these two concepts – politics and crisis – can be summarized. According to Arendt, politics is fundamentally about the relationship of human beings with one another, the nature of their bond, the principles that unite them, and the very frame of the multiple local and temporary projects they undertake together. Crisis on the other hand names the dissolution and possible reconstitution of human communities: it is the moment when the community’s taken-for granted integrity is threatened. It follows, then, that crisis is central to politics. So, what is a crisis?
Well let’s read and discuss.
