The rupture between past and future in Hannah Arendt’s thought

The aim of this book is to make it possible to investigate the author’s historical theoretical perspective, starting from her critical analyses of the concept of ancient history, corroborated by Herodotus in classical antiquity, up to the basic concept of linearity based on Hegel, which reaches the 19th century, where the rupture of historical linearity occurs, as seen in her views on political experiences in 20th century Europe. From then on, there would be a new field conducive to new paradigms in the field of historical theory, so the three chapters that make up this book seek to show, by problematising the field of historical theory, the insufficiency of the historiographical linear mode, on which the theoretical field of history is based, as well as identifying the period in which this fragility shows itself and how it shows itself. To this end, the first chapter sets out the concept of history from the point of view of the philosopher Hannah Arendt, and the second, her critique of it.
