ACTION AS A REMINDER OF OUR FREEDOM
it is not western freedom
"possessive individualism"
freedom is a possession
freedom associated with contemplation
bc theoretically, ure not dependent on anything
Arendt's definition
"no freedom in isolation"
we're free only if we're in the presence of others
bc that is where equality is
in the face of another as ends not as means to an end
you initiate sth w someone w/o knowing whatll happen
this happens bc youre not acting on something, youre acting on someone (kasi ndi sya object)
u r acting w/ someone
this action is political action
acting b4 & w/ others
“creating a public as I act”
public = shared world with others
“I only see my freedom in this shared world”
freedom appears only in the space of political action
involves disclosing urself, ur identity, ur opinions, ur stand
since action can create an unboundless reaction or chain of reactions (as in unpredictability)
equality happens in the space of appearance in which we face one another as ends and not means to an end
argues against the notion that contemplation (viva contemplativa) is the state in which one is “free” bc ure not dependent on material objects
this action is not labor
freedom is not free will
free will is choosing right or wrong
free will became freedom bc of chrisitianity
Grks and Rmns used "freedom" as indication of action
not sth willed but sth done
