Revolution; Failure; Necessity; Freedom.Abstract
This text aims at examining the concept of revolution present in Hannah Arendt’s book On Revolution (1963). It is purported to address more specifically the failure of the revolutionary spirit. The hypothesis presented here is the following: the understanding of the relations between necessity and freedom outlined by Arendt in On Revolution shows that the failure of the western revolutionary spirit is rooted in the fact that it favored economy and necessity on the one hand and juridical formalism on the other, but to the detriment of freedom. Arendt saw this happening both in French and American revolutions.
