La crisis del Estado-nación y la dialéctica de los derechos humanos. El totalitarismo como colapso de las formas políticas en Hannah Arendt

Abstract

[EN] The article argues a lecture of H. Arendt’s The burden of our times (1951), which takes into account this work as an analysis of the causes that led to the crisis and fall of the modern Nation-state, displaying the elements which brought forth the most destructive experiment which the political condition of man was subjected to, i.e. the totalitarian phenomenon. I shall begin by outlining the reasons of Arendt’s disdain for the rules of sociological method, since she considers that human actions can only retrospectively illuminate which are the elements that actually led to the historical events. Secondly, I tackle the incompatibility that Arendt highlights between political and boundless economic enrichment with the help of the criticism she addressed to Hobbes’s Leviathan, that would be guilty of granting theoretical legitimacy to the specific needs of a rising class, the bourgeoisie. Imperialism would thus be the logical consequence of forgetting the principle that commands men transforming the earth as a habitable place, inserting in it a system of legal mediations. Finally, I will deal with the criticism of Arendt on human rights —near to the criticism that she leveled at the nationalism concealed by every national state, whose content she drastically reduces to the requirement of belonging effectively to a political community. Concerning this topic I aim at exploring the possibilities for setting up a dialogue with Kant’s Doctrine of Right, which also assesses the foundation of a civil union as an essential condition for upholding human rights

[ES] El artículo propone una lectura de Los orígenes del totalitarismo (1951) de H. Arendt que entiende esta obra como análisis de las causas que condujeron a la crisis y decadencia del Estadonación moderno y propiciaron el experimento más destructivo de la condición política del hombre, el fenómeno totalitario. Comenzaremos señalando las razones de la displicencia de Arendt hacia las reglas del método sociológico, al considerar que sólo las acciones humanas pueden iluminar retrospectivamente cuáles son los elementos que han cristalizado en los acontecimientos históricos. En segundo lugar, nos detendremos en la incompatibilidad que Arendt encuentra entre poder político y enriquecimiento económico, de la mano de la crítica que realiza del Leviatán de Hobbes, por haber proporcionado una legitimación teórica a las necesidades de una clase en ascenso, la burguesía. El imperialismo sería, así, la consecuencia lógica del olvido del principio que ordena a los hombres volver la tierra un lugar habitable, introduciendo en ella un sistema de mediaciones legales. Finalmente, nos ocuparemos de la crítica que Arendt dirige a los derechos humanos, estrechamente ligada a la destinada al nacionalismo latente en toda forma estatal, que reduce drásticamente su contenido a la exigencia de pertenecer a una efectiva comunidad política, explorando a este respecto las posibilidades de un diálogo con la Doctrina del derecho de Kant, que también hace de la formación de una unión civil una condición fundamental para la defensa efectiva de los derechos del hombre.
