Hannah Arendt e a filosofia da existência: o fim da identidade entre ser e pensar

Abstract

In this article, I develop the argument that Hannah Arendt’s thought can be read in the tradition of the philosophy of existence. In order to explain it, I use as a guideline the critic of the theory of identity between Being and Thinking. From this, I highlight elements of this philosophical school that remain and are incorporated by the thinker in her work. Arendt’s affiliation with the philosophy of existence helps us to understand the existential roots of central themes in Arendtian political theory, namely: the concepts of contingency, plurality, freedom, and world.
