Od sporu między parweniuszem a pariasem do napięcia między życiem i światem. O genezie filozoficznych i pedagogicznych kategorii Hannah Arendt
From the Pariah-Parvenu Dispute to the Life-World Tension

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the genesis of some of Hannah Arendt’s philosophical and pedagogical concepts. The author argues that the crucial distinctions for Arendtian mature anthropological and pedagogical exercises in thought stem from the dubiousness of pariah-parvenu aspects of Jewish social situation. Subsequently they shape in the private-social-political structure in order to finally polarize into the opposition of life and world (profoundly justified in Human Condition). The final opposition can be analyzed also independently of its intellectual origins in Arendt’s biography, i.e. as a hermeneutic context of Arendtian thinking of Greek and Latin antiquity. It is only this distinction that allows us to fully appreciate the difficult condition of Western education in philosophical terms. However, awareness of its biographical and political genesis casts a new light upon their structural, independent, philosophical sense.
