Handeln als Frage der Macht. Ethische Überlegungen im Anschluss an Hannah Arendt
Cristoph Trobinger
Sažetak
My thesis concerning Hannah Arendt is that power is to be understood only through human action as such. I firstly aim to show which understanding of action we find in Arendt’s works. A person’s actions make their distinctive «who” recognizable to others and found the phenomenon of plurality. According to the former, power is a social phenomenon, which occurs only between people when they act together. In the second part of my presentation, I aim to unveil
the structure of power, which is fleeting, unlimited and unpredictable, and the opposite of violence to Arendt’s understanding. In discovering this structure of power, I propose its political drama: power can neither be saved nor can it be controlled. Therefore, I try to show thirdly, that there are forms of reliability in power in its political meaning, which can be found in Arendt’s notions of forgiving
and promise.
