초록
Arendt had lived her life as a pariah, while rejecting the submission to the conformism, the political evil. Havel has tried to live within truth against living in lie. Their political thinking started commonly from the lived experience as the stateless or the oppressed. Their passionate and disinterested attitude toward the humanity, therefore, underlines their political thinking in common. They clearly emphasize the differences between the traditional and genuine politics. Their end is to reconstitute the public sphere or parallel polis, the genuine politics which can guarantee the freedom and responsibility. Their theories of public realm are somehow different on the ontological and institutional levels. In spite of some differences, they realize in common that these realms contribute to getting the political freedom. As regards with the way to getting the freedom, it seems to me that they raise the different position; Arendt emphasizes the interrelations between politics and ethics; Havel raises the politics above the moral. But their concept of politics is commonly republican. The spontaneity and solidarity as the principle of political action contribute to humanizing the common world. The concern with the common world is connected with the responsibility. The responsibility as a kind of political action is interrelated with the protection of freedom of individual and society. This is the actualization of Amor Mundi and living in truth, which is based on conscience.
Abstract
Arendt had lived her life as a pariah, while rejecting the submission to the conformism, the political evil. Havel has tried to live within truth against living in lie. Their political thinking started commonly from the lived experience as the stateless or the oppressed. Their passionate and disinterested attitude toward the humanity, therefore, underlines their political thinking in common. They clearly emphasize the differences between the traditional and genuine politics. Their end is to reconstitute the public sphere or parallel polis, the genuine politics which can guarantee the freedom and responsibility. Their theories of public realm are somehow different on the ontological and institutional levels. In spite of some differences, they realize in common that these realms contribute to getting the political freedom. As regards with the way to getting the freedom, it seems to me that they raise the different position; Arendt emphasizes the interrelations between politics and ethics; Havel raises the politics above the moral. But their concept of politics is commonly republican. The spontaneity and solidarity as the principle of political action contribute to humanizing the common world. The concern with the common world is connected with the responsibility. The responsibility as a kind of political action is interrelated with the protection of freedom of individual and society. This is the actualization of Amor Mundi and living in truth, which is based on conscience.
