Totalitarizmin kavramsal incelemesi ve arendt ile popper’ın totalitarizm anlayışları

Bu çalışmada, anti-demokratik yönetim şekillerinden totalitarizmin kavramsal incelemesi yapılmaktadır. Çalışmada, totalitarizmin unsurlarını göz ardı ederek, farklı anti-demokratik yönetimleri totaliter olarak nitelemenin mümkün olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Yönetim şekillerinin en anti-demokratiği olarak nitelendirilebilecek totalitarizm kavramına yüklenen anlamlar çeşitlidir. Çalışmada, (1) totalitarizm kavramını inceleyen araştırmacıların tanımlarından hareketle, unsurları göz önünde tutularak totalitarizmin kavramsal incelemesi yapılacak, (2) totalitarizmin genel karakteristikleri bir araya getirilecek, (3) adları totalitarizm tartışmaları ile özdeşleşen Arendt ve Popper‟ın totalitarizm anlayışları arasındaki benzerlik ve farklılıklar araştırılacak ve (4) anti-demokratik unsurların olduğundan daha yoğun görülebileceği/gösterilebileceği düşüncesinden hareketle, Popper‟ın, totalitarizmin temel unsurlarını göz ardı ederek Platon‟un düşüncelerindeki anti-demokratik unsurları totaliterleştirip totaliterleştirmediği sorgulanacaktır.

A conceptual analysis of totalitarianism and arendt and popper’s understanding of totalitarianism

This study makes a conceptual analysis of totalitarianism, a form of antidemocratic government. This study has found that it is possible, by overlooking the key elements of totalitarianism, to define different anti-democratic governments as totalitarian. The meanings attributed to totalitarianism, which can be considered the most antidemocratic of all governments, differ. In this study, (1) a conceptual analysis of different meanings given to the concept of totalitarianism will be made in view of the definitions of researchers who have investigated the concept, (2) the general characteristics of totalitarianism will be gathered, (3) the similarities and differences between Arendt and Popper‟s understanding of totalitarianism, whose names are identified with the debates on the debates on totalitarianism, will be explored. (4) Moving from the idea that the severity of anti-democratic elements can be overstated, it will be questioned whether Popper, overlooking key elements of totalita
