La metáfora del desierto en Hannah Arendt

"At the beginning of 1955 Hannah Arendt began to inquire into the origins and causes of political life for the planning of a book, which never saw the light and which would have borne the title Einführung in die Politik (Introduction to Politics), she asked herself a question with resonance in the thought of Leibniz, Schelling and Heidegger: Why is there someone and not rather no one? With this question Arendt echoes a phenomenon that would run through the whole of her thought: the estrangement from the world (Weltentfremdung), which was widespread among philosophers as an endemic disease when analyzing the conditions of the world. For Arendt this phenomenon represents the first obstacle to overcome in order to understand the reality of politics. The actuality of the political phenomenon, paying special attention to the metaphor of the desert and how it breaks down the relationship between tyranny and the emptying of public space."
