Abstract

This article aims to analyze Arendt's critique of romantic readers of Kant, as it develops in the article "What is Existential Philosophy" (1946). This review is a fundamental key to understanding not only the philosophical principles of her criticism of political existentialism, especially those held by Heidegger, but also to some of the problems that lead directly to her work of the fifties, and underlying it.
