Abstract
Specificity of present time is “the end of political”, where the term ‘democracy’ still represents the main collective term for making an illusion of false possibilities. Hannah Arendt is taken here as the author whose term ‘action’ represents what people in a public field could really be. Regarding that, her analysis about how did reduction of political relationship to the dynasty relationship happened, from the beginnings of philosophy of politics, is very important. Also, her understanding of the relevance of (political) freedom is in opposition with traditional philosophical restriction of freedom to ‘human inside’.
