Hannah Arendt: el pensar en el espacio político y en la cultura

Abstract

//// Abstract: Thinking and culture are linked intimately in Arendt’s theory because they are both in the public sphere. The absence of thinking makes the agents acting in a banal way. Thinking guides to exchange different opinions through constructed language by various speakers. This shows the necessary plurality required in the politic and cultural space, that is, the public space. Lack of thinking expresses drowsiness in front of the world and gives rise to overcrowding and causes unanimity instead of generating a politic skill which directs people towards the common world, to the world-withthe- others. Culture and art should be long-lasting, in public sphere things are neither consumed nor used, because they are eternal, immortal. However it seems that philisteism and searching of immediate utility has imposed on a categorical way through the mass society.
