What We Talk about When We Talk about Political Theory: Reconsidering Hannah Arendt’s “Method” of Political Thinking and its Critiques of the Rawlsian Method of Political Philosophy Today

This paper reconsiders Hannah Arendt’s “method” of political thinking and its implicated critiques of the Rawlsian methodology of political philosophy today, namely, the reflective equilibrium. By addressing Arendt’s approach to political thinking and comparing it with John Rawls’ counterpart, I argue that inasmuch as thinking cannot be reduced to philosophising, the outcome of thinking is by no means nothing but philosophy, either.
