Abstract

As the crises happened in political area became much more frequently and intensely in recent decades, there are more and more people starting to reflect on the legitimacy of the modern politics. They wish to diagnose the diseases of our era and give their own prescriptions. Hannah Arendt was one of the greatest one in these thinkers. Since she started her political thinking, the modernity had been in her core topics in a very long time. On Revolution, her book published in 1963, was one of her prescriptions to solve the problems. This article would talk about the positive factors she considered the American Revolution had revealed in building up a new Constitution for freedom and those negative factors she thought that led the French Revolution fell into failure. Through filtering out these core factors from her majestic and complex articulation, we can have a clearer picture of what kind of new order was praised by her. Then, we will also point out the problems inside her articulation about the new order to have a deeper understanding of her reflection on the political reality.
