Abstract EN:

In the first volume of this doctoral thesis (analytical considerations. A space for the man, a thought for the world. 168 pages) we have endeavoured to analyse the distinctions suggested by hannah arendt -especially in the human condition- between labor, work and action, in order to apprehend the specific nature of politics, thought by the author as "inter-est between men", on the basis of the word-given (promise) and the word-given anew (pardon). In the second volume (dialectical considerations. This world that we no longer inhabit. 156 pages), we place an emphasis on how the author interprets the loss of the community and the way in which, in modern times, the social question prevails over the political things, especially in the french revolution movement. The central intuition is that the loss of the community (or common political space between the men) results in the loss of the politics as such and isolates man, reducing him in being a mere producer consumer. The third volume (critical considerations. Hannah arendt in the contemporary debate on the sense of history. 204 pages) leads to a more critical reflexion. The original contributions of the author concerning the relations between society and politics, are the subject of an outdistanced questionning articulated around a permanent reference to the drift towards totalitarianism and the proper function of the ideological discourse. The fourth volume (critical condiderations -sequel- and epilogue : the lost testament. 202 pages) situates hannah arendt with regard to some contemporary schools of political thought, and authors some of whose intuitions she considers. Arendt's paradigm of the beginning breaks away from systematic approaches to history. Through his word and action, man reveals himself to be the beginning of history. The fifth volume (327 pages) contains the notes, index, annexes, bibliography and tables to the whole thesis.
