Resumo
A dignidade humana é um tema que Hannah Arendt debate ao longo de toda sua obra. A partir do fenômeno totalitário, por conta do qual se torna pensadora da política, Arendt entenderá que a despeito do caráter universal que a tradição ocidental atribuía à dignidade do homem, esta só é real, só adentra o plano da efetividade e resguarda o respeito aos indivíduos, quando eles fazem parte de uma comunidade pela qual compartilhem responsabilidade. De acordo com o pensamento de Arendt os governos totalitários representaram uma verdadeira ruptura com a tradição de pensamento e com o conjunto de valores ocidentais. Através do controle total do comportamento humano os governos nazista e stalinista conseguiram dissolver os limites entre o domínio público e a esfera privada, entre o Estado e as massas, entre o poder e a violência, entre a política e a administração da vida humana, deste modo forjaram um mundo em que o sentido das ações humanas passou a remeter a finalidades voltadas ao progresso biológico ou social do processo da história da espécie humana, neste mundo o princípio da dignidade humana poderá ser substituído pela descartabilidade em massa de seres humanos, sob uma aparente legitimidade. Nesta dissertação serão apresentadas as relações que estabelece Arendt entre este fenômeno e a instabilidade inerente à própria estrutura do Estado-nação, agravada pelo capitalismo, bem como os limites que a própria tradição de pensamento apresenta na compreensão da gravidade de tal evento, de seu real impacto sobre os seres humanos ali sujeitos à aniquilação, e dos perigos que representam as novas formas de dominação nele descobertas em relação à cultura ocidental e à própria humanidade. Também será abordada a fenomenologia da vita activa elaborada por Arendt, segundo a qual a natalidade – a permanente possibilidade de surgimento...
The human dignity is a subject presented by Hannah Arendt through all long her thought work. From the emergency of totalitarian government, because of which she becomes a political thinker, Arendt will understand that despite the universality that occidental tradition establishes to human dignity, it just come to be real, only rises to effectiveness and protects the respect to individuals, when they are part of a community for which they share responsibility. According to Arendt’s thought totalitarian governments represented a real break with the thought tradition and the values system of the occident. Through the total control of human behavior the Nazi and Stalinist governments could dissolve the limits between public and private spheres, between the State and the masses groups, between power and violence, between politics and administration of human life, thereby, it was forged a world in which the meaning of human actions became to be related to finalities directed to biological or social progress of the historical process of human kind. In this world the human dignity principle may be replaced by a massive disposability of human beings, under a supposed legitimacy. In this dissertation will be presented the relations established by Arendt between this phenomenon and the instability into the own structure of Nation-State, exacerbated by capitalism, and also the limits that the own thought tradition presents on the comprehension of the gravity of such event, it’s real impact over the human beings exposed to annihilation, and the danger that represents the new forms of domination through it developed, not only on the occidental culture but also on the own humanity. Will be here also approached the vita activa’s phenomenology developed by Arendt, according to which the natality – the permanent possibility of emergency...
