Papers by Waltraud Meints-Stender
Arendt's concept of plurality springs from a critique of Martin Heidegger's philosophy and is developed ex negativo from the analysis of the "Origins of totalitarianism." It is argued that plurality is not just about the world and the self, but that it requires a mediation process between the world and the self. In contrast to the understanding of the political in Aristotle and Carl Schmitt, the author shows how in Arendt the concept of plurality determines the concept of politics through power, whose legitimacy is based on a political judgment that corresponds to the concept of plurality and contains the condition of possibility, to address issues of social justice.
