Abstract
Hobbes’s political theory states a principle that of, the ordination of the multitude. It portrays that the most general presupposition of the State is that the multitude be always ordered by the will of an individual. Although Hannah Arendt has seen the depth of Hobbes’ political thought, she does not, however, always refrain from opposing it. She thinks that classical political liberalism in its English version has built a political theory leading to the instrumentalisation of the State for the protection of individual rights, that is, what makes Hobbes’s artificialism a political theory of individualism. Therefore, if Hannah Arendt has criticized modern political philosophy, it is to show how this philosophy has missed the essence of politics by disqualifying pluralism. The interest of this article consists in showing how the concept of plurality, taken into its double dimension phenomenological and voluntaristic, results to the idea of a humanist political thought for Arendt.
