The academic program of June 2020 showed us that, in Arendt’s conception, political power has a very positive meaning, it is completely different from domination, coercion, imposition, and forced obedience. Come in and. The July 2020 program will continue to clarify the concept of “Violence” in Arendt’s politics. With the revolutionary nature of her thinking, she also brought a very new connotation to the concept of violence, which is understood as a tool of politics. Arendt understood violence in a completely different way than usual.
