公共生活与私人生活的间性思考——阿伦特人类活动领域理论旨趣析解

An Analysis of the Objective of Arendt's Theory on the Human Activity Realm

阿伦特将人类活动领域划分为毫无交集的公共领域和私人领域,勾画出连贯二者的社会领域,并以此阐释人类自由,表达人生诉求。无疑,阿伦特的划分方式和目标旨趣独具特色,但也有理论瑕疵,即:对公共领域和私人领域划分过于精确,社会领域界定则模糊不清。显然,这在当今时代不但极不现实,而且容易引起理论争议和分歧。

Arendt divided the human activity realm into two non-intersecting realms—the public realm and the private one—and sketched the social realm linking the public realm with the private one so that she could explain human freedom and express human pursuit by way of these three domains. Arendt＇s division and objective are surely unique,but there are some theoretical flaws,that is,her division of the public domain and the private sector is too precise while the definition of the social realm is blurred,which is evidently not only rather impractical but also apt to cause theoretical disputes and differences in the current era.
