阿伦特的俄国革命观——以汉娜·阿伦特《论革命》为中心考察

汉娜·阿伦特的俄国革命观集中体现在她的《论革命》一书中,她认为在暴动、恐怖、历史必然性和绝对主义各个方面,都体现出是法国大革命的一种延续.正是因为十月革命“电气化加苏维埃”的特殊方式,导致了革命的悲剧性结局.而党派之争成就了一党专政,布尔什维克党扭曲了革命的苏维埃制度,最终“革命吞噬自己的孩子”,革命精神丧失.     

阿伦特公共领域世界性的存在论视域及其意义初探

汉娜.阿伦特是最早从哲学视角对公共领域问题进行深入系统思考的哲学家。在建构公共领域理论时,她将世界性作为公共领域的存在论基础,目的是建立一个世界性的公共领域,为人类寻求一个稳定的家园,型塑一种世界性的生活方式。这一探求成为贯穿阿伦特政治思想的主要线索,使阿伦特政治理论之特色得以彰显。     

The Imperial Origins of Nation-States: Revisiting Hannah Arendt's Genealogy of Totalitarianism1

Against the backdrop of World War II, Hannah Arendt explores the origins of totalitarian rule, arguing that they date back to as early as the late nineteenth century. Alongside anti-Semitism, overseas colonialism and pan-nationalism paved the way for the totalitarian regimes that crystallized a few decades later by weakening the system of nation-states from within. Using the example of Germany, I will argue in this article that we need to revise Arendt's narrative. It focuses too narrowly on how nationalism turned into its categorical opposite, imperialism, neglecting the complementary dynamics of how empire facilitated the nation-state. Only then can we acknowledge the deep rupture that World War I brought about when it created in its wake a dynamic that culminated in the destruction of European nation-states.     

Cultivating listening spaces for civil society: Reorienting public relations amid Hannah Arendt’s urgent pluralism

The article explores how the ideas of Hannah Arendt can further public relations’ understanding of organizational listening and its role in civil society. We draw on three major theoretical concepts from Arendt and scholars studying her work—plurality, interspaces, and lamp holders—and contextualize them within existing civil society research in public relations. Reading Arendt into organizational listening and civil society literature yields insights for how public relations contributes to the maintenance of structures and spaces for deliberation and civil society. Her theory points toward the concepts of bracketing and unbracketing as ways to enter civic spaces with an awareness of power and identity. As research on organizational listening has yet to fully identify how listening can contribute to supporting representative deliberation in polarized societies, this paper helps to theoretically position listening within civil society and provides initial suggestions as to how civic-minded listening can be incorporated into public relations practices aimed at building community.
