"Quand tout le monde ment sur tout ce qui est important, le diseur de vérité, qu'il le sache ou non, a commencé à agir ; lui aussi s'est engagé dans les affaires politiques ; car, dans le cas peu probable où il survivrait, il a fait un pas pour changer le monde."
Hannah Arendt, in "Truth and Politics"

"Where everybody lies about everything of importance, the truthteller, whether he knows it or not, has begun to act; he, too, has engaged himself in political business, for, in the unlikely event that he survives, he has made a start toward changing the world.”
Hannah Arendt, in "Truth and Politics"

"S'il est vrai que les masses sont obsédées par le désir d'échapper à la réalité parce que, dans leur déracinement essentiel, elles ne peuvent plus en supporter les aspects accidentels et incompréhensibles, il est également vrai que leur soif de fiction a un certain rapport avec ces qualités de l'esprit humain dont la cohérence structurelle domine le simple hasard. La fuite des masses devant la réalité est une condamnation du monde dans lequel elles sont contraintes de vivre et ne peuvent subsister, puisque la coïncidence en est devenue la loi suprême et que les êtres humains ont besoin de transformer constamment les conditions chaotiques et accidentelles en un schéma humain d'une relative cohérence."

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
If, as I suggested before, the ability to tell right from wrong should turn out to have anything to do with the ability to think, then we must be able to “demand” its exercise from every sane person, no matter how erudite or ignorant, intelligent or stupid, he may happen to be.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist

Oltre l’illusione della pace
https://rizomatica.noblogs.org/2026/02/civino-oltre-illusione-della-pace/
Non è la guerra in sé a costituire l’anomalia. L’anomalia è un ordine mondiale che non riesce più a produrre integrazione, stabilità, futuro condiviso, e che per questo ricorre ciclicamente alla forza. Gli accordi su Gaza, come molt

New essay: The Will to Be Ruled — Totalitarianism and the Fantasy of Freedom
Modern autonomy collapses under its own weight.
When the “self-governed subject” falters, obedience rushes in as comfort.
The essay follows the gradient from freedom to devotion—where submission feels virtuous, even ecstatic.#Philosophy #AntiEnlightenment #CriticalTheory #Arendt #Totalitarianism #Ethics #Psychology #Power #DisIntegrationism #PhilosophicsBlog #Politics #Enlightenment #Agency

« #Parias », de #MarinaTouilliez : #Arendt à #Paris, l’amitié comme héroïsme ordinaire
Dans un merveilleux essai, Marina Touilliez décrit la constellation solidaire qui entourait la penseuse en exil, au milieu des années 1930. #HannahArendt #LeMonde #LeMondedeslivres #jeanbirnbaum #mastolivre #bookstodon -
"L'effondrement moral total de la société respectable sous le régime hitlérien peut nous enseigner que, dans de telles circonstances, celles et ceux qui chérissent les valeurs et s'en tiennent fermement aux normes et aux standards moraux ne sont pas fiables : nous savons désormais que les normes et les standards moraux peuvent changer du jour au lendemain, et qu'il ne restera alors que la seule habitude de s'en tenir fermement à quelque chose.
Beaucoup plus fiables seront les sceptiques et les dubitatifs, non pas parce que le scepticisme est une bonne chose ou que le doute est salutaire, mais parce qu'elles et ils ont examinent les choses et se forgent leur propre opinion."
Les meilleurs seront celles et ceux qui ne savent qu'une seule chose avec certitude : quoi qu'il arrive, tant que nous vivons, nous devons vivre avec nous-mêmes."Hannah Arendt, 1964, https://archive.org/details/responsibilityju0000aren/page/44/mode/2up?q=%22total+moral+collapse%22&view=theater
