Una politica a sé stante

Anno LIII, n. 223, settembre-dicembre 2018

This essay considers Hannah Arendt’s conception of politics as a self-contained space whose meaning is internally shaped without dependence or recourse to any external source of value. More specifically it is argued that anti-instrumentalism and anti-moralism represent two different but inseparable dimensions of an original and radical version of the “autonomy of politics” thesis.
