Hannah Arendt: juridical critic of totalitarianism

Article Abstract:

Author, educator and political theorist Hannah Arendt thoroughly analyzed the subject of genocide in developing her theory of totalitarianism. Her 1951 dissertation 'Total Origins of Totalitarianism' was to establish Arendt as a very influential figure in post-war political theory. The single, most important aspect of her work is its reference to genocide as being embodied in the framework of totalitarianism as a system rather than as a special characteristic inherent in a particular race.

The long tradition and social science

Article Abstract:

It is important to move beyond the present dualism between the long tradition and the narrow empiricism of some social sciences as the 21st century begins. A cultural crossroads has been reached, and social science must choose whether to remain true to its origins or to be used by fanatics seeking to cast aside the present moment in time and the current system in place. The outcome of this struggle will affect the future of civilization as a whole.

Totalitarian origins and outcomes of political orthodoxy

Article Abstract:

Demands for political orthodoxy have become prevalent in the 20th century. The rise of Hitlerism and Stalinism promoted differences on ideologies in the 1930s. Political movements and student activism later become popular during the 1960s. These and other developments have promoted the prevalence of political orthodoxy with organizations and institutions designed to promote freedom of speech and demands for political correctness.
