Hannah Arendt, Politics, Contingency, Natality, UnpredictabilityAbstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine some aspects of Hannah Arendt’s theory of action in the light of the notion of contingency. Focusing our analysis on the concept of natality, but also paying attention to the concept of unpredictability, we intend to work out a path that allows us to apprehend certain distinctive features of her political thought.
