Judaizam i sekularizacija: Hannah Arendt i židovska tradicija
Judaism and Secularization Hannah Arendt and the Jewish tradition

Summary/Abstract: For Hannah Arendt, as for F. Rosenzweig and E. Levinas, the question of the limits and openness of the political is crucial. The fact is, though, that in H. Arendt’s view, “God’s metaphysical place remains vacant,” and the fact that the authority of traditions has been lost for ever, that our world is without protection, that secularization is irrevocable, all are equally important. One could thus phrase her question as follows: what about alterity, which prevents the political from becoming self-centred, once it is no longer protected by the relationship with a higher reality? Can alterity be something apart in relation to that which is higher without descending into the most banal pluralism?
