Hannah Arendt
Os tempos em que vivemos são perversos em diversos sentidos, não somente, mas também não menos importante, politicamente. Em 2016 nós elegemos um presidente cuja aparição em público é avara, destrutiva, enganadora, predatória e incoerente.

Não foi Trump sozinho que visualizou …

Arendt's Concept and Description of Totalitarianism
THE enormous complexity of Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism arises in large measure from its interweaving of a concept of totalitarianism with a description of the totalitarian regimes of Hitler and Stalin.1 Today, after the disappearance of those regimes, the former concern may seem the more important ; yet to neglect the reason that Arendt wrote her book—the fact that Nazism and Stalinism appeared in the world in the second quarte…
