Ao nos apresentar o conflito pessoal vivido pela filosofa e professora Hannah Arendt o filme nos remete a alguns conceitos Kantianos que dizem respeito a fundamentação da ação moral segundo o mesmo. Para Kant, a ação moral deve ser incorporada ao indivíduo não por meio da experiência e sim da razão, e portanto não sendo regidos por fatores externos e sim pela racionalidade pura. Essa origem a priori na razão pura conduz a uma reflexão sobre a situação vivenciada por Hannah, uma vez que ela ao presenciar o julgamento se convence da “inocência” do réu. Apesar de ser uma integrante da etnia que foi vítima dos crimes dos quais o réu é acusado, Hannah por meio da razão não o julga culpado, enquanto se espera que ela paute sua análise no desprezo que tem pelo regime do qual ele fazia parte.
No que diz respeito ao réu, os imperativos categóricos ditam sob a forma da necessidade de uma ação moral. Ele pauta a sua defesa usando o raciocínio do valor da ação moral, dizendo “Faça isso, por que isso é o que deve ser feito” e não “se fizer isso, me acontece aquilo”.
Como explica Kant no texto em questão:
“ A Fundamentação da Metafísica dos Costumes deve demonstrar a priori que tal imperativo existe enquanto necessário ao exercício do agir moral em todo ser racional. A aprioridade do imperativo categórico decorre do fato de que ele não pode ser derivado de qualquer peculiaridade da natureza humana ou originar-se empiricamente de motivos contingentes, já que o dever, do qual o imperativo é a forma, vale necessariamente para qualquer ser racional, enquanto tal.”

...5 mark questions practice What is politics? Politics, in its broadest sense, is the activity through which people make, preserve and amend the general rules under which they live. Although politics is also an academic subject (sometimes indicated by the use of ‘Politics’ with a capital P), it is then clearly the study of this activity. Politics is thus inextricably linked to the phenomena of conflict and cooperation. On the one hand, the existence of rival opinions, different wants, competing needs and opposing interests guarantees disagreement about the rules under which people live. On the other hand, people recognize that, in order to influence these rules or ensure that they are upheld, they must work with others – hence Hannah Arendt’s definition of political power as ‘acting in concert’. This is why the heart of politics is often portrayed as a process of conflict resolution, in which rival views or competing interests are reconciled with one another. However, politics in this broad sense is better thought of as a search for conflict resolution than as its achievement, as not all conflicts are, or can be, resolved. What is the difference between power and authority? Power is the ability of an individual or institution to force people to do things, whether they wish to or not. There are various forms of power, the strongest of which is coercion – the use of physical force. The most extreme cases of coercion are seen under totalitarian regimes, where execution, torture...

¿Qué Ha Sido Del Hombre Y La Razón?

...en muchos sentidos la progresión de nuestra historia se asemeja a un bucle; aunque claro está que muchos dirán que tal afirmación no es verdad, porque si aquélla fuera cierta dónde quedarían todos los avances científicos, tecnológicos, industriales, arquitectónicos, económicos, artísticos, entre otros, que hemos visto a través del desarrollo de la especie humana. Por supuesto, nada de esto se puede negar, pero si nos remitimos exclusivamente a la razón, al comportamiento, a las acciones que desencadena nuestro pensamiento racional, lo planteado comienza a cobrar sentido. Para analizar esto con algo más de detalle, podemos abordar los tres últimos siglos, por medio de figuras históricas como Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Engels, Karl Marx y Hannah Arendt. De tal manera, en el siglo XVIII Kant en su texto “Respuesta a la pregunta ¿qué es la ilustración?”, expresa la necesidad del hombre de salir de la minoría de edad, la cual se puede entender como la falta de capacidad del hombre para razonar por sí mismo, dependiendo de otros (como el Estado) para tomar sus decisiones; incapacidad que se origina porque es más cómodo y fácil permanecer en la ignorancia y dejar que sea otro el que decida el rumbo de nuestras acciones, que esforzarnos para pensar por nosotros mismos, que tener el valor para trabajar duro por la libertad, por la libertad para pensar,...

Power. Authority. Violence

...Power. Authority. Violence A research paper highlighting the relation between the three terms: power, authority and violence, and the nature of violence and power in Hannah Hannah Arendt’s theory in her book ‘Crises of the Republic’. ------------------------------------------------- Sushrut S. Vaidya (20155042) Hannah Arendt (1906 – 1975) was a political theorist, who through her theories got the recognition of a philosopher and framed the thoughts of many political theorists to come through her topics on the nature of power, authority and totalitarianism. Through this paper, I shall be talking about my take on the relation between the three fundamentals of Hannah Arendt’s theory in her book ‘Crises of the Republic’. The relation that I will be deriving is between her theory of power, authority and violence. I hope to be, at the end of this paper, be able to provide an input as to where the ideal culminated theory lies and be able to put forward a few points on the continued flow of power. Power, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary is defined as the ability to act or produce an effect or as the possession of control, authority or influence over others. Power, has evolved into its many forms as it was practiced through time. Turning back time to back when primordial man asserted his power over others to the beginning of civilized life to the time where empires began and required ruling to the creation of the ‘modern man’, power has been exercised multiple...
