Arendt and Fichte on Totalitarianism: Connections to Franco's Spain and Today's Rising Nationalism
Abstract
This chapter examines Johann. G. Fichte's nationalism and Hannah Arendt's theory of totalitarianism to analyze the ideological roots of Francoist Spain and modern nationalist movements. While Fichte shaped German national identity, his ideas have been linked to authoritarianism. Arendt provides a framework for understanding totalitarian regimes, especially fascism and communism. By placing both thinkers in broader historical contexts, the study explores how nationalist discourse can lead to totalitarianism. It highlights the evolving, contested nature of totalitarianism beyond classic cases like Nazi Germany or Stalinist USSR, offering insights into current debates on nationalism and authoritarianism.
