LENIS CASTANO, John Fredy. Hannah Arendt: moral conscience and banality of human condition. Co-herencia [online]. 2009, vol.6, n.11, pp.29-38. ISSN 1794-5887.
If we define moral consciousness as the capacity to self-criticize and debate within the framework of reciprocal demands, then totalitarianism appears as one of its major challengers, since it has become a form of banalization and annihilation of life. This paper's aim is to analyze -using some of Hannah Arendt's approaches- the possibilities of the necessary and constant birth of such consciousness in the middle of the tension of its alienation. To achieve this purpose, the following points shall be developed: nullification of moral consciousness, restoration of the faculty of judgement, connections to narrative discursiveness, and legal order and the reinvention of selfcriticism.
Palavras-chave : Arendt; moral conscience; totalitarianism, alienation; faculty of judgment; narration of oneself.
