Isi artikel

The essay interrogates the cosmopolitan level of Arendt's political philosophy from the viewpoint of her reflections on plurality, the norm of limitless communication and her diagnosis of political institutions. Arendt's conception of the political and plurality is inherently non-national in character, but she introduces the nation of limitless communication. This ideal can be understood either as a straightfowrward development of the normative ideal of plurality on a cosmopolitan level or as replacing plurality with a slightly different but posible ideal. The essay brings together Arendt's conception of plurality with her reflections on the value of political institutions. Plurality comprises five aspects: equality, diversity, active participation, the shared world as a central mediating factor and the interactive or communicative dimension. According o Arendt institutional frameworks should ideally be designed both to make such participatory plurality and politics possible and as safeguards against rule. These tasks should also be preserved on a cosmopolitan level. This implies the importance of cosmopolitan institutions that are not intended as designed towards any ideal to establish a supreme global political authority, an idea that Arendt finds highly dangerous.
