H. Arendt ve A. de Tocqueville'de politik özgürlüğün anlamı üzerine araştırmalar

In this study, we compare political thinkers H. Arendt and A. de Tocqueville?s perceptions of political freedom, based on the following three relations: Firstly, the distinction between free will and political freedom, which corresponds with the distinction between traditional philosophy and the tradition of the political thought. Secondly, the ambiguous relation between equality and freedom which appeared with the birth of political modernity. Finally, the distinction between the social and the political which has been problematic since the birth of the concept of society. Each type of relation helps us to better understand the thoughts of Arendt and that of Tocqueville. They also give us the conceptual framework for reflecting on the superiority of the polical, and show the distinction between the traditional political philosophy and the tradition of political thinking.
