Özet

By its eidetic (idea/form) characteristic, republicanism does denote not only the political potentiality of the ideal form of government but also the actual experience of civic agency. Having been subjected to the metaphysics of presence in its both ancient and modern determinations, republicanism is based on an allagmatic (a system of transfusions) interrelationship between the status-oriented universality of a transcendental idea of government and the particularity of the immanent characteristics of the community of citizens such as virtue, participation, and responsibility. By proposing to analyze this interrelation as the reflection of a comprehensive ontology of actuality, this study aims to interpret republicanism of the ancients and the moderns by reference to their converging epochal characteristics inaugurated within a framework varying from Aristotle to Hannah Arendt.
