“…For example, although Karl Marx's thoughts constitute a crucial source of inspiration for critical international theories, Arendt (1998: 116, 228) considers Marx's arguments too deterministic to fit her free politics, as several scholars (Canovan, 1992: 63-98; Weisman, 2013; cf. Barbour, 2014) point out. We must also note that, though fiercely resistant to establishing politics in natural and quasi-natural criteria, Arendt (1998: 50-58) emphasizes a politically engaged care for the world in which individuals act and attain their public identities.…”

For Hannah Arendt, the federal system is an effective mode of organizing different sources of power while avoiding sovereign politics. This article aims to contribute two specific claims to the burgeoning scholarship on Arendt’s international federalism. First, Arendt’s international thought calls for the balancing of two demands: the domestic need for human greatness and flourishing, and the international demand for regulation and cooperation. Second, her reflections on council-based federalism offer a nuanced position that views the dual elements of equality in politics ( intra-state and inter-state equality) as neither contradictory nor reconciliatory but rather as ideal types along a continuum. This study shows that, through the unique form of federalism emphasizing the need to balance two demands of free politics with a clear acknowledgement of its precariousness, Arendt’s thinking adds much-needed sensitivity to international discourse.

Politics contra the functionalisation of man – Hannah Arendt’s problematic investigation of ideology and labour

Hannah Arendt suggests the pivotal problems of modern society to be man’s susceptibility to ideological patterns of thought and behaviour and the compulsion under which he performs labour. Her depiction of these phenomena can however be seen as rather one-dimensional. Since the redemptive concept of politics which she proposes as a kind of worldly realm for unconstrained human relationships, is based upon her fragile analyses of ideology and labour, this concept’s persuasive power is limited. Arendt’s striking powers of observation are more effective in areas where social domination is taken to the extreme, whereas in the face of basic social constraints she seems to be perplexed.
