Titolo:
"Diritti naturali e umani nella politica di Hannah Arendt. Spunti per una lettura"

The essay intends to demonstrate that Arendt remains, as within her criticism to totalitarianism, there comes to play a typically Judaic-Christian concept in which the body and human nature are not adequately emphasized. This ambiguity essentially with regards to human nature has penetrated the entire Occidental way of thinking. Both the glorification of race on behalf of Nazism and natural right are to be examined rather as a rationalistic paradigm and discipline, as is suggested by the Foucaultian studies. Following Weber’s suggestions, from the School of Frankfort and Foucault, the author intends to demonstrate that Arendt is not entirely freed of this disastrous tradition of modernity for the very reason that she was not capable of activating a new anthropological image equipped to oppose the previous residual concept of human nature.
