Through this historical-contextual approach, one can see the systematicity of both Arendt and Heidegger's political thought with greater clarity: both see politics as the practice of properly integrating an authentic individual into a common world of shared social meanings (defined similarly by both).Moreover, once the internal logic of their argument is clarified, I propose that the difference in Heideggerian and Arendtian political thought is primarily due to their different understandings of what constitutes an individual's 'selfhood' or 'personhood'. cache/4x51hh66v5x.txt txt/4x51hh66v5x.txt
