Abstract

Controversial, Hannah Arendt’s reflections on the outbreak of the popular masses in the modern revolutions are articulated with their criticism to logicism and Hegelian concept of “historical necessity”, and in particular the alleged Marxian attempt to establish freedom in the need through subjection from politics economics. This article aims to analyze these criticisms and thus survey some of his errors in the treatment of Marxian thought.
