  • 本書介紹
在《政治的承諾》中，漢娜・鄂蘭檢視了哲學與政治間的衝突。她發現源於柏拉圖與亞里斯多德的傳統西方政治思想無法解釋我們人類的行為。在書末她也探討了當代對於政治的偏見。
當政治被視為達到超出其自身目的的手段，當權力被用來創造｢自由｣，政治原則的存在還有意義嗎？

“By insisting that politics remain a promise rather than a threat, Arendt offers a hope thst history has yet to justify.”- The New York Sun

“Arendt demonstrates, brilliantly, how our habitual view of politics as an instrument in the service of private liberty, material gain, and social prosperity actually increases the dangers posed by the modern world.”- DANA R. VILLA, author of Arendt and Heidegger and Socratic Citizenship

In The Promise of Politics, Hannah Arendt examines the conflict between philosophy and politics. In particular, she shows how the tradition of Western political thought, which extends from Plato and Aristotle to its culmination in Marx, failed to account for human action. The concluding section of the book, “Introduction into Politics,” examines an issue that is as timely today as it was when Arendt first wrote about it fifty years ago–the modern prejudice against politics. When politics is considered as a means to an end that lies outside of itself, argues Arendt, when force is used to create “freedom,” the very existence of political principles is imperiled.
