Abstract

Political action and appearance as a place of prominence and reliability of reality are themes that permeate the thought of Hannah Arendt. Her thinking is marked by the disruption caused by totalitarianism and for her incessant search of the perception of reality and its reconstruction. This paper present this break and with that the problems around the political action and of appearance in a space for sharing words and actions. Start by political activity, their definitions and characteristics that make them a central concept not only for politics but for the existence of a space that guarantees the reality of our world: the appearance. This space is covered in a second time, your problems are also addressed by the view of some commentators. Totalitarianism, discussed in the third chapter, represents exactly the threat to this space and action because it wants to dismiss the man of his place in the world. Totalitarianism is a project to build a fictional world that does not accept rival the reality of our world. The relationship between the works Origens do Totalitarismo (2006) and A Condição Humana (2005a) becomes clear when we note that the main elements that constitute the human condition are denied by the elements that make up the totalitarian rule. To achieve the aim of this work was necessary resort of works of Hannah Arendt such as A Condição Humana (2005a), Entre o Passado e o Futuro (2005b), ¿Qué es política? (1997), A Vida do Espírito (2000) e Origens do Totalitarismo (2006). It is presented an exhibition of the theme of action and look for these works, and make use of commentators and critics of Arendt. This study sought to explore the concepts of appearance and action, developing their problems and placing them on the table by totalitarianism of annihilation of spontaneity and standardization of the crowds.
