Hannah Arendt Quotes
What All Greek Philosophers, No Matter How Opposed To Polis Life, Took For Granted Is That Freedom Is Exclusively Located In The Political Realm, That Necessity Is Primarily A Prepolitical Phenomenon, Characteristic Of The Private Household Organization, And That Force And Violence Are Justified In This Sphere Because They Are The Only Means To Master Necessity - For Instance, By Ruling Over Slaves - And To Become Free. Because All Human Beings Are Subject To Necessity, They Are Entitled To Violence Toward Others; Violence Is The Prepolitical Act Of Liberating Oneself From The Necessity Of Life For The Freedom Of World. This Freedom Is The Essential Condition Of What The Greeks Called Felicity, Eudaimonia, Which Was An Objective Status Depending First Of All Upon Wealth And Health. To Be Poor Or To Be In Ill Health Meant To Be Subject To Physical Necessity, And To Be A Slave Meant To Be Subject, In Addition, To Man-made Violence.
