Beyond Hannah Arendt Reconceptualisation Power

项目摘要

PhD thesis will examine Hannah Arendt's reconceptualisation of power. My specific focus will concern whether her understanding of power, as 'action in concert' between people in the public realm, can be understood normatively as a way of discussing how political power should operate, or descriptively as a discussion of the way political power actually operates. This will situate Arendt within a wider debate concerning the relationship between normative and descriptive political theory, locating her understanding of power within this field (Brennan and Hamlin 2007, Bernstein 2012, Pietrzyk-Reeves 2017). This will also enable me to highlight the 'dissatisfaction' in Arendt's work with regards to the separation of normative and descriptive approaches to political theory and how, as a result, the more descriptive elements of her work must be developed further (Shapiro 1981, Canovan 1999, 2008). To reinforce this approach, I will examine the philosophical history of power itself, turning to Arendt's influences, such as Aristotle, Kant, and Heidegger, in order to provide a genealogical account of how Arendt arrives at her unique reconceptualisation of power. This will provide an original contribution to Arendtian scholarship insofar as a detailed account of how Arendt arrives at her understanding of power has not yet been given. Providing such an account will allow me to problematise Arendt's work, pointing to its moral limitations and attempting to go beyond them by putting her work into dialogue with contemporary debates within Arendtian scholarship. (Reed 2019, Menge 2019).

博士论文将探讨汉娜·阿伦特对权力的重新概念化。我的具体关注点是她对权力的理解，作为公共领域中人们之间的“一致行动”，是否可以被规范地理解为讨论政治权力应该如何运作的一种方式，或者描述性地理解为对政治权力实际运作方式的讨论运行。这将使阿伦特陷入有关规范性政治理论和描述性政治理论之间关系的更广泛辩论中，并将她对权力的理解定位在这一领域（Brennan and Hamlin 2007，Bernstein 2012，Pietrzyk-Reeves 2017）。这也将使我能够强调阿伦特作品中对政治理论的规范性和描述性方法分离的“不满”，以及因此如何必须进一步发展她的作品中更具描述性的元素（Shapiro 1981，Canovan） 1999 年、2008 年）。为了强化这种方法，我将考察权力本身的哲学史，转向阿伦特的影响，例如亚里士多德、康德和海德格尔，以便为阿伦特如何得出她独特的权力重新概念提供一个谱系说明。这将为阿伦特学术提供原创性贡献，因为尚未详细说明阿伦特如何理解权力。提供这样的解释将使我能够对阿伦特的作品提出问题，指出其道德局限性，并试图通过将她的作品与阿伦特学术界的当代辩论进行对话来超越这些局限性。（里德 2019，门格 2019）。
