Pensare contro: Hegel e Arendt
2011
Nel ruolo che Arendt attribuisce al pensare, come unica attività capace di tenere la coscienza umana, non solo ben desta ma, proprio per questo, capace di autentica responsabilità, tornano inevitabilmente i motivi hegeliani; e ciò soprattutto quando è in gioco la riflessione sulla storia umana e la considerazione del significato che questa stessa riflessione può assumere nell'evoluzione dello stesso pensare.
Labor as Action: the Human Condition in the Anthropocene
2020
Abstract The Anthropocene has become an umbrella term for the disastrous transgression of ecological safety boundaries by human societies. The impact of this new reality is yet to be fully registered by political theorists. In an attempt to recalibrate the categories of political thought, this article brings Hannah Arendt’s framework of The Human Condition (labor, work, action) into the gravitational pull of the Anthropocene and current knowledge about the Earth System. It elaborates the historical emergence of our capacity to “act in the mode of laboring” during fossil-fueled capitalist modernity, a form of agency relating to our collectively organized laboring processes reminiscent of the…
The (Meta)politics of Thinking
2021
In this chapter, Jussi Backman approaches Hannah Arendt’s readings of ancient philosophy by setting out from her perspective on the intellectual, political, and moral crisis characterizing Western societies in the twentieth century, a crisis to which the rise of totalitarianism bears witness. To Arendt, the political catastrophes haunting the twentieth century have roots in a tradition of political philosophy reaching back to the Greek beginnings of philosophy. Two principal features of Arendt’s exchange with the ancients are highlighted. The first is her account, in The Human Condition (1958), of the profound transformation of the Greek perceptions of political life initiated by Plato, the…
Foucault, posverdad y parresia
2019
In this paper, Vaccaro aims to interrogate the political value of truth. Moving from Hannah Arendt and the debate between modernity and postmodernity, the paper focus the Will to truth according the elaboration of Nietzsche, but also the first Collège de France course by Foucault in the ’70s. The thesis is a etho-politics of telling the truth, that to say the parrhesia, as an antidote either to the nihilation of truth in the post-truth, or to the enforcement of truth as the One in politics.
Arendt y Heidegger ante el 'diluvio de Auschwitz'
2019
Tras las Conferencias de Bremen de Martin Heidegger y, más aún, tras los escritos de Hannah Arendt, el nacionalsocialismo ha sido reinterpretado como revelador de la modernidad técnica hasta el punto de que la institución nazi de los campos de concentración y exterminio se ha visto erigida en paradigma de esta modernidad. Esta visión, que podría llamarse posmoderna, de la historia del siglo xx merece ser cuestionada.1 ¿Cómo es posible que la obra de Heidegger, ese profesor y rector nacionalsocialista a quien se le prohíbe enseñar en 1945, haya tardado tanto tiempo en ser reconocida como un caso ejemplar, dentro del campo filosófico, de la visión del mundo o Weltanschauung nacionalsocialista…
Città, diritti e pratiche di mutualismo: riflessioni a partire dalle istanze comunitarie ai tempi della pandemia
2022
During the pandemic crisis, the “community” practices of mutualism have characterized the urban space by operating in a subsidiary, if not a substitute, manner with respect to public institutions. Their actions have been political in the sense in which Hannah Arendt defined this concept. Starting from a reflection on vulnerabilities, taking a case study as the object, and dialoguing with Orsetta Giolo’s essay, The rights against the city. Urban space, subjectivity and the public sphere, published in 2021, the potential and limits of these practices will be analyzed, along with their relationship with established power, with respect to the renewed tension between rights and territoriality, w…
Da Trump a Foucault. Postverità e parresia
2021
Vaccaro analyzes the philosophical-political status of the category "Post-Truth", from Arendt to Foucault, and opposes to it the concept of Parrhesia with its political radicality.
Spazi di ‘soglia’ e diritto alla cittadinanza: esperienze e riflessioni per la riconquista dello spazio pubblico.
2010
Nell’Europa contemporanea si registra un’ampia varietà di comunità culturali. Alcune di queste comunità possono, naturalmente, essere costruite su valori e modi di vita che sono così antisociali da renderli immeritevoli di supporto e tolleranza, ma – in ogni caso e come dato di fatto – la società contemporanea è divisa in un arcipelago frammentato di differenti minoranze e gruppi plurali. Riteniamo questi gruppi come socialmente costruiti – cioè come fenomeni sociali dinamici i cui confini si spostano nel tempo, e la cui rilevanza nella vita dei membri e in quella di coloro che non ne fanno parte varia nel tempo e nello spazio: questa visione è emersa all'interno del dibattito sui nuovi mov…
