Abstract

From the action concept, Arendt resorts to political the aristotelian ideas as as much ethical to base a theory of the action. The perspective of some modern ones that considers to the individual outside their practical and reflective sphere has lead consequences nonwished that they have been visible in the contemporary societies (like for example the totalitarianisms, etc.). One considers in this one work, a shift of paradigm: to think to the individual other people's to its historicidad and its particular situation to think it as political ethical agent with responsibility within the frame of a theory of the action.
