Abstract

In this article, we start from Hannah Arendt’s assertion that the meaning of politics is freedom. Therefo­re, our goal is to analyze the implications of such a claim, seeking for some arguments that might justify it. For this, we relate the question of politics with a conception of the human being, with the question of democracy and an understanding of freedom. Related to freedom, we discuss the question of discourse, considered as the “raw material” of the polis.
