ARBEIT UND MODERNE GESELLSCHAFT. EINE KRITISCHE ERKUNDUNG MIT HANNAH ARENDT
Work and the Modern Society. A Critical Approach with Hannah Arendt

Summary/Abstract: Looking back on theoretical approaches of basic themes like „work“ and „production“ in the modern world, equally applied on liberal as well as on communist societies, Hannah Arendts critique, especially on Karl Marx, is shown to be not an ideologic motivated rejection of the marxistic ideas. Reffering to the antique society model of Athen democracy, Arendt shows the main topics of the difference between an philosophical ideal and his interpretation in both modern Western and Eastern societies. Therefor, a look on todays post-communist society through Arendts theories shows intriguing results in genderspecific and also in general areas of private or social behaviour.
