The human condition

Hannah Arendt

Natality, plurality, mortality, the Earth and the metabolism with nature are the circumstance no one chooses. Forgiveness and promise are what keep a plural political system alive; the victory of the animal laborans and the rule of nobody are its collapse.

What it does in the chain

Reads as properties of the political system: forgiveness and promise as homeostasis, their degradation as a collapse pathology. Supplies the type that replaces the thesis’s neoliberal subject: the mobilised animal laborans.
