Arendt as the Heidegger behind the scenes

o3.icon

A passionate love affair between teacher and student (1924-28) became the "original experience" of Arendt's thinking.

They continued to exchange correspondence after the war, and Arendt behaved to a certain extent as a "defender" of Heidegger's Nazi past.

Subjectivity The condition of not being able to choose the circumstances of one's birth and fall.

Pioneer to Death Seek in death the basis for the "decision" to recover one's essential self.

The World-In-Presence Worldliness Our relationships with others are often buried in an anonymous "worldliness.

summary

Reading Arendt as "Heidegger behind the scenes."

I see a circuit from ontology to political theory,

The shift in perspective from internal self-determination to public interaction becomes easier to understand,

By understanding the Heideggerian depths, we can grasp in three dimensions why Arendt's pluralistic and emergent view of politics was born.

By being aware of this "other side," Arendt's text can be read not as a mere political philosophy but as **another "ontology "** built on the bedrock of existential philosophy.
