Abstract
The love for the world leads to the hatred of the world's evil; the hatred of the claustrophobia from the evil in the private leads to the passionately exploration into the human’s common conditions in the public. Arendt found her solution to the modern political predicament in the performance of virtuosity, which transcends "making" and material production. The transcendence aims to implant into the increasingly perfected political communications the ontological significance of productivity and production relations, while the performance is an experience of modernity (i.e. the aesthetic) in an effort to undermine the will to good and remove the desire for material. The gestation of judgment, as the formation of reflective judgment, imagination, common sense of aesthetics, etc. is the generation of our communicative coexistence, and a form of freedom of integration of the individual's private space into the whole. In Arendt's communicative politics, action and judgment should always come together, and participants and spectators should not be separated, and this is the implication of Arendt's political aesthetics of communications to the modern isolated world.
