Abstract
El tema general es la relación entre acción política e identidad personal. La obra fundamental en la que se investiga tal vínculo es la de Hannah Arendt. Concretamente, en su teoría de la acción tal y como quedó establecida en La condición humana. El concepto más importante para desarrollar este tema dentro de la vasta obra de Arendt es el de “acción como revelación del agente”. Aunque el terreno en el que se despliega la filosofía de Arendt es el de la teoría política, nuestro acercamiento al concepto de acción arendtiano tiene su origen en la hermenéutica filosófica. En efecto, es el interés hermenéutico por la problemática contemporánea de la crisis de la “identidad personal” en el espacio público el que nos llevó a estudiar el concepto de acción de Arendt. Al sumergirnos en la obra de Arendt para analizar en profundidad la idea de “acción como revelación del agente” surgió la necesidad de confrontarla con la tradición del liberalismo político. De tal modo que la relación ambigua entre la teoría política liberal, -con Benjamin Constant, John Stuart Mill e Isaiah Berlin como representantes-, y la teoría política de Arendt se convirtió en el otro pilar fundamental de nuestro trabajo. Los diálogos entre Arendt de un lado y Constant, Mill y Berlin de otro lado, constituyen uno de los aportes más relevantes de este trabajo, ya que es prácticamente inédito en la literatura sobre Arendt confrontarla con estos autores...
The overall theme of this manuscript is the relationship between political action and personal identity. This link is examined in the light of the central work of Hanna Arendt and her theory of action, such as it is established in The human condition. The most important concept to address this question within the extensive work of Arendt is the “action as disclosure of the agent”. Even though Arendt’s philosophy unfolds in the field of political theory, our approach to the notion of Arendtian action originates in hermeneutic philosophy. Actually, it is the hermeneutic interest in the contemporary crisis of “personal identity” in public space that led us to study the concept of action in Arendt. A thorough analysis of the idea of “action as disclosure of the agent” in the work of Arendt revealed the need of comparing this concept with the tradition of political liberalism. In this way, the ambiguous relationship between liberal political theory – represented by Benjamin Constant, John Stuart Mill and Isaiah Berlin – and the political theory of Arendt became an essential pillar of the present work. The almost unprecedented dialogue between Arendt, on the one side, and Constant, Mill and Berlin on the other, constitutes one of the most relevant contributions of this thesis to the available literature in the field...
