Abstract

There is a tragic realism in the background of all Arendtian thinking, which corresponds to her way of dealing with the fragility of the practical issues that lie between men, without renouncing – quite the contrary - to action. Through her Nietzschean affinity, I seek to evidence what I believe to be the intellectual posture that is the basis of all the political-philosophical reflection of Hannah Arendt, which is not only an understatement but appears explicit in many moments of her work.
