The Encounter of republic and cosmos: Arendt and HumboldtInspired by Hannah Arendt's analysis of crisis-ridden modernity, Wolfgang Heuer addresses exemplary aspects of depoliticization and the loss of politics - and thus of freedom - in 20 essays. He argues that politics can recover, if it is based on personal responsibility in the political realm, in civil society, and even under dictatorial conditions; if the pictorial and emotional conditions of successful judgement are understood; if human plurality is given its specific political organisational form; and, finally, if sustainability is understood as a principle of action, not only towards nature but also towards politics and society.Political sciencePOLITICAL SCIENCE / History & TheorybisacshDemocracy.Literature.Philosophy.Political Science.Political Sociology.Political Theory.Politics.Society.Political science.POLITICAL SCIENCE / History & Theory.Heuer Wolfgang R., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1453621transcript: Open Library 2023 (Politik)fndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996545360703316Cosmos and Republic3656471UNISA
