摘 要: 在20世纪亚里士多德传统的复兴中,汉娜·阿伦特无疑是最大的贡献者之一。阿伦特继承了亚氏的政治概念:公共领域和私人领域的二分,政治的“实践”不同于技术的“制作”,从而在当代恢复了政治活动的自足地位。从阿伦特“拯救行动”的立场看,亚氏的自然目的论实际上削弱了行动的自足意义,损害了真正的政治自由。正是基于后者,她认为亚里士多德和柏拉图一道,开创了西方“非政治”的政治哲学传统。

The Reinterpretation of Aristotle’s Concept of Politics in Arendt
WANG Yin-li
Abstract: Hannah Arendt undoubtedly made a great contribution for the recovery of Arsitotle’s tradition in the twentieth century. This article firstly illuminates what Arendt inherits from Aristotle’s concept of politics: the dichotomy of the private realm and the public realm, the political acting distinct with the technical making, therefore, she reclaims the autonomous role of politics in modern world. Then, this article mainly analyzes that from Arendt’s standpoint of “saving action”, Aritotle’s teleology of nature counteracts the autonomy of political action in so large degree as to harm the true freedom of politics. Just basing on that, Arendt makes a judgment that Aristotle starts an “un-political” tradition of Western political philosophy with Plato.
Key words: the teleology of nature; autonomy; poiesis/making; praxis/action
