In this sense, the refugee is truly ‘the man of rights,’ as Arendt suggests, the first and only real appearance of rights outside the fiction of the citizen that always covers them over.

We consider the principal eigenvalue of generalised Robin boundary value problems on non-smooth domains, where the zero order coefficient of the boundary operator is negative or changes sign. We provide conditions so that the related eigenvalue problem has a principal eigenvalue. We work with the framework involving measure data on the boundary due to [Arendt & Warma, Potential Anal. 19, 2003, ...

The distinction between ‘necessary’ labour and ‘useful’ work is deeply rooted in Occidental history and culture. In her profound historic and philosophic review Hannah Arendt (1958/1981) analysed the roots of the valuation of work from the early Graeco-Roman times and Christianity up to nowadays pointing to the trichotonomy between ‘labour’ for securing subsistence, ‘work’ for creating values a...
