  • Arendt, Levinas, and the Justification of Violence Larios, Joe 2020 Arendt Studies , Vol. 4 , S. 177 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 2574-2329 | 2474-2406 10.5840/arendtstudies202112728 Abstract

    By bringing the work of Arendt and Levinas together, this paper hopes to show a possible avenue for addressing the lack of a heteronomous object guiding the public realm in Arendt (which is connected to her rejection of the social). This is first clarified with reference to the lack of a clear criterion for the deployment of violence as found in On Violence and proceeds to show how a criterion can be excavated from her comments elsewhere and clarified through a comparison with the thought of Levinas in which there is a heteronomous factor guiding action—the Other. What is uncovered is a similar framework in which the preservation of the world, as the space of appearances, becomes that which justifies actions. Moreover, it is argued that the social can become an object of concern precisely because of the changed nature of this world owing to modern technology.
