Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the significance of Hannah Arendt’s concept of the private realm in connection with her original private property theory. Arendt understood “private property” as an effective system to guarantee “the private realm”, and “property” is strictly distinguished from “wealth” to mean sustenance, money, and products. She regards “the private realm” connected with “private property” as fundamentally important as a realm with two positive values; the principle of “security” and dimension of the “depth” of the human life.<br> However, “private property” is constantly exposed to danger from the destructive power of the expropriation process that take multiple forms in modern society. Especially in her later years, Arendt focused on the problem of how to control the destructive operation of the expropriation process and to guarantee private property.<br> At the end of this paper, I consider the arguments for a basic income from the perspective of the issues raised by Arendt.
