Heidegger E O Caráter Historial-Político Da Obra De Arte, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2008

Heidegger E O Caráter Historial-Político Da Obra De Arte, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

The text discusses the historial-political character attributed by Heidegger to the artwork in his 1936 essay “The origin of the work of art”. The main argument is that Heidegger’s analysis of the artwork is simultaneously an inquiry into the possibility of a new beginning in history by means of a genuine appropriation of history, a subject-matter that was altogether absent during the project of fundamental ontology. The essay on the artwork is considered as a first step in Heidegger’s formulation of his later thesis concerning Western history as the history of Being. Incidentally, this shift in Heidegger’s understanding of history …


Hannah Arendt's Radical Politics: Beyond Actually Existing Democracies, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2007

Hannah Arendt's Radical Politics: Beyond Actually Existing Democracies, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

The present text investigates Arendt’s conception of the political underlying her theoretical reconstruction of the Greek polis. My main argument is that Arendt’s return to the past aims at questioning the political alternatives offered by many contemporary currents of political liberalism, which tend to reduce the political to the domain of the juridical. Distinctively, I think that Arendt outlines a radical conception of democracy that is to be situated beyond the model of our actually existing democracies. In order to show that Arendt’s aim was not that of elaborating a theoretical normative and utopian conception of the political, far away …

Hannah Arendt E A Modernidade: Esquecimento E Redescoberta Da Política, Andre De Macedo Duarte Jan 2001

Hannah Arendt E A Modernidade: Esquecimento E Redescoberta Da Política, Andre De Macedo Duarte

Andre de Macedo Duarte

Hannah Arendt views Modernity as the epoch of the forgetfulness of politics in its democratic determinations, since the political and the public sphere were either totally reduced to the specter of violence and terror, as it happened in the case of totalitarian regimes, or totally absorbed by the bureaucratic administration of society’s economic interests. In this article I intend to discuss the main arguments that constitute her critical diagnosis of Modernity, retracing them to their inspirational origins, that is, Nietzsche’s and Heidegger’s critical assessments of Modernity. Finally, I try to demonstrate that Arendt has balanced her critical understanding of politics …
