Isi artikel

This article claims that Arendt's political theory is about power. By combining several different dimensions of power, I develop a simple cross-table by wich I compare Arendt with the nations of power of other philosophers, such Webet, Marx, Habermas, and Foucault. In contrast to these thinkers, Arendt presents us with different nations of power. After briefly discussing each of her nations, I focus on her understanding of constitutionalism. Arendt is embedded in the Hegelian and German. Staatsrecht-tradition of contitutionalism. However, her thought also entails the idea of a revolutionary contitution. And although she shrank back from the radical democratic consequences of this idea, she did develop the categories of power that we need to draw the critical distinction between the branches of power constituting the communicative power of the people and the branches of repressive power.
