In The Experiential Ontology of Hannah Arendt, Kim Maslin examines
Hannah Arendt's political philosophy through a Heideggerian
framework. Maslin argues that not only did Arendt grew beyond the
role of naive and beguiled student, but she became one of
Heidegger's most astute critics. Well acquainted with and deeply
respectful of his contributions to existential philosophy, Arendt
viewed Heidegger's work as both profoundly insightful and
extraordinarily myopic. Not contented to simply offer a critique of
her mentor's work, Arendt engaged in a lifelong struggle to come to
terms with the collective implications of fundamental ontology.
Maslin argues that Arendt shifted to political philosophy less to
escape her own disappointment at Heidegger's personal betrayal, but
rather as an attempt to right the collective flaws of fundamental
ontology. Her project offers a politically responsive, hence
responsible, modification of Heidegger's fundamental ontology. She
suggests that Heidegger's allegedly descriptive and non-normative
insight into the nature of being is necessarily incomplete, and
potentially irresponsible, unless it is undertaken in a manner
which is mindful of the collective implications. As such, Maslin
shows how Arendt attempts to construct an experiential ontology
that transforms Heidegger's fundamental ontology for use in the
public sphere.
