AB - Arendt is compared to Heidegger in that he actualized philosophical thinking(Denken) through political action(Handeln). The relationship between thinking and action lies in the core of the two philosophers’ theories. This paper explores the common ground of the two philosophers on their shared concepts on thinking, which are often compared in the question of the relationship between thinking and action. Existing comparative study on the two philosophers generally focus on criticizing Heidegger from Arendt’s stance. Heidegger’s ‘ontological thinking’ is independent of the existing political philosophy. He emphasizes the responsibility of thinking over the social and political responsibility. This paper aims to compare Heidegger and Arendt’s philosophy focusing on the relationship between thinking and action as balanced as possible from the perspective of the history of effect. As a basis for the comparative study, this paper will first explore ‘Arendt’s acceptance and criticism,’ followed by examination on the two philosophers’ criticism on ‘not thinking’ and solutions for overcoming metaphysical thinking. The paper suggests possibility of how lack of discussions on thinking from Heidegger's theory can be supplemented through Arendt's theory; while Arendt's limits of optimistic metaphysical political theory can be extended through Heidegger's. The paper will then specifically compare and analyze their stances on ‘action', especially focusing on the relevance between thinking and action from the context of political life.
