Mass Society and the Political Crisis
Interview with Hannah Arendt
Abstract
In Vita activa, Arendt's reflection on mass society reveals the impoverishment that has occurred in modernity in the concept of the world, no longer understood as the space created between people, when it is the space that brings them together or separates them, thanks to the fact that it is the place where freedom and political action occur.
