We will start, first, by sketching the broad contours of the discussion between Hannah Arendt and Judith Shklar and then argue, second, why juxtaposing the two matters. It channels the debate and helps us to focus on some crucial elements: the role of the politics of law and legalism, the distinction between positive and negative liberty, the future of republican and liberal thought, and the epistemological function of exile.
