The sphere of action as the appearance space of men in Hannah Arendt

Abstract

This article aims to show how action - and the discourse, as being intimately connected to this -, a fundamental concept in Hannah Arendt's philosophy, is presented as an indispensable criterion for the movement undertaken by men leaving a private place, for a public space, and, therefore, of appearance in the human world, thereby revealing not only their biological bodies, but their plurality of unique beings. It is intended, therefore, to expose a human ascension of a particular context to the public, in front of the unveiling of the "who", considering as characteristics coming from the plurality. For this, we will have in first perspective the chapter V of "The Human Condition", where Hannah Arendt presented in a more secluded way the concepts that we will deal with here.
