Arendt Revolution Theory Research

Marxist philosophy is revolutionary philosophy.Revolution is also an important subject that can not be ignored in Arendt's political theory.Arendt's revolutionary theory is the connection point and realistic foothold between her political conception and the contemporary political world.She restores the revolutionary problem to the historical reality of the American Revolution and the French Revolution.She makes a series of discussions on it.In Arendt's theory of revolution,the beginning and innovation in the connotation of revolution create an opportunity for people to break the old system and enter a new stage of history.The orientation of freedom and liberation in the revolutionary goal provided a powerful impetus and direction for political action.The construction and assumption of republicanism provide concrete ways and means for the construction of an ideal political world.At the same time,in the construction and interpretation of Arendt's revolutionary theory,there are a lot of conflicts with Marx's thoughts and even a lot of criticisms of Marx's thoughts.The misunderstandings of Marx's concepts of labor,society and economy led to great differences between Arendt and Marx's thoughts on many theoretical themes: In the divergence of labor views,Arendt did not realize the ontological implication of Marx's concept of labor and the criticism of alienated labor;In the analysis of violent revolution,Arendt did not understand that the violent revolution advocated by Marx was only a practical choice made in a specific historical period.Marx's violent revolution was neither an end itself nor a kind of objectivism.In the conception of republicanism,Arendt did not examine the importance of the relations of production enough and overestimated the persistence and stability of the public sphere under the crisis of modernity,which made the committee republic she proposed to become a political fantasy.Arendt's misunderstandings of Marx's thoughts lie in that Arendt followed the tradition of western practical philosophy with politics as the core,which led to a dualistic opposition between society and politics in Arendt's thoughts.Marx replaced practice with labor through the transformation of western practical tradition.A new frame of practical philosophy is constructed based on labor and society.In addition,on one hand,the contemporary value of Arendt's revolutionary theory is reflected in the strong political concern contained in Arendt's thought and the deep thinking of the living conditions of contemporary people.On the other hand,as the connection between Arendt's political philosophy and reality,the revolutionary theory presents a reflective transformation from the conceptual structure of traditional political philosophy to the real political world.Based on Arendt's theory of revolution as the subject and the breakthrough point,by showing Arendt and Marx's different views on the question of the revolution and choice,on the one hand,on the western political thinkers represented by Arendt to clarify the misunderstandings of Marx's thought,more accurate to show the Marxist ideas about labor,violent revolution,and social revolution thought.On the other hand,it tries to present the inheritance and transformation of Marx's traditional western practice view with the reference of Arendt's thought,which also inherited the tradition of Aristotle's practical philosophy.
