阿伦特的意识形态理论

阿伦特将意识形态界定为一组宣称能解释一切、有逻辑的观念,她认为各种意识形态皆具有极权性质。依据阿伦特的叙述,意识形态关注于过程、行动及历史;脱离现实,脱离经验,赋予事件以秘密意图,以阴谋论的眼光看世界;它是一种具有高度一贯性的逻辑推论,力量在于其“逻辑性”。在极权主义政体中,意识形态旨在支配人的内心。阿伦特指出,意识形态的消解之道是公民思考能力的提升。阿伦特的意识形态理论对于当今中国具有重要的启迪意义。

Hannah Arendt defined ideology as a set of logical ideas that claimed they could explain everything. She thought all ideologies were with totalitarian nature. They focused on precess, action and history, dependent from reality and all experience, and looked at the world from the view of con- spiracy through injecting a secret meaning into every political act. Ideological thinking ordered facts into a logical procedure, which achieved its power. In a totalitarian regime, ideology strived to dominate the souls of everyone. As Arendt pointed out, Improvement of the capacity of thinking of every citizen were hoped to destroy and overcome the tyrant of idelogy. Hannah Arednt＇s theory of ideology was of great significance for today＇s China.
