Not life but the world is at stake: Hannah Arendt on citizenship in the age of the social
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 11:27 authored by Patricia OwensThis article evaluates Hannah Arendt’s contribution to ‘thinking citizenship’ in light of her controversial account of the modern rise of ‘the social’. It argues that Arendt’s writing on the social is best understood not primarily as analytical and normative but as an historical argument about the effect of capitalism and modern state administration on meaningful citizenship. This short piece analyses one important element of Arendt’s story about the historical rise of the social: that it is a peculiar hybrid of polis and oikos, a scaled-up form of housekeeping, and its threat to the public, political world.
