Hannah Arendt in Association with “Femininity Condition”

Abstract

With its notions and categories philosophy as a practice of signification has accepted a few women to thinking arena. So that it took time to argue the problems related with the condition of femininity by women. Hannah Arendt is one of the rare philosophers who put forward her own thoughts with courage excluded the feminity outside of her system of thought on purpose. But the main reason of the critics of feminist movement to her is her strict distinction between the private and public realms. She was blamed for legitimate the women’s conviction in houses and house works as in polis of Ancient Greek. Indeed Arendt seems as if she has been sacrified the body in order to save the plurality which is according to her the law of the earth. But this sacrifice does not mean the humuliation of woman or feminity. Arendt has insisted on the natality and the starting ability of human. By this way, instead of trying to invert the putative hierarchical relationships between men and women, she focused on human and the uniqueness of human.
