Abstract

This text aims to reflect, from the perspective of Hannah Arendt, about the totalitarian experience regarding its unprecedented nature and the way in which it promoted the disposability of human life. To this end, we will analyze the elements that make up this novelty, highlighting the aspects that make it distinct, for example, from tyranny. Furthermore, we will discuss ideology, violence and terror, where we will try to demonstrate that these mechanisms were used by the totalitarian experience to promote the disposability of human life. It is assumed that, when carrying out the discussion in question, we will be able to observe that totalitarianism represented a new form of government, which cannot be equated with dictatorship or tyranny, which promoted the disposability of human life, the elimination of plurality and spontaneity of individuals. For the methodology, a philosophical exegesis of the reference works was carried out, especially the work Origins of Totalitarianism (1951), by Hannah Arendt.

Keywords: Totalitarianism; Ideology; Violence; Horror.
