ON THE POSSIBLE FOR HUMAN BEINGS – INTERWEAVING AND COMPRESSION INSIGHTS OF GILLES DELEUZE AND HANNAH ARENDT

Abstract

This paper explores the possible for human beings in the world, drawing from the examination of how we are situated in the world on a phenomenological- ontological level. It relies on insights from Gilles Deleuze and Hannah Arendt. The conceptual framework in the paper related to these authors concern the interpretation of principles such as natality, action, worldliness and the political in the case of Hannah Arendt and the interpretation of enternity and temporality, the organic and inorganic flow of life, desire and virtuality in the case of Gilles Deleuze. However, the paper is not only about interpreting their insights but also about constructing a structure that testifies to the mutual complementation of their insights. After indicating the coexistence of their conceptual foundations at different levels, thay are compressed for a more comprehensive understanding of the possible for human being in the world. Based on such compression, a path is opened for contemplating the possibilities of human action in the world as its ontological characteristic. This establishes a non-contemporary consideration of meaning of action, related to the analysis of condition of possible for human beings in the world, as well as outlining the prerequisites for its actualization.
