Sažetak

My thesis concerning Hannah Arendt is that power is to be understood only through human action as such. I firstly aim to show which understanding of action we find in Arendt’s works. A person’s actions make their distinctive «who” recognizable to others and found the phenomenon of plurality. According to the former, power is a social phenomenon, which occurs only between people when they act together. In the second part of my presentation, I aim to unveil
the structure of power, which is fleeting, unlimited and unpredictable, and the opposite of violence to Arendt’s understanding. In discovering this structure of power, I propose its political drama: power can neither be saved nor can it be controlled. Therefore, I try to show thirdly, that there are forms of reliability in power in its political meaning, which can be found in Arendt’s notions of forgiving
and promise.
