The right to have rights or to act in order to exist. Arendtian readings

This article analyzes the Arendtian meaning of the formula “the right to have rights”. It shows the importance and the influence of an original thought which places popular and collective action at the heart of political life and which makes public space the area of ​​freedom. The objective is therefore to show that when Hannah Arendt revises the classic definition of politics, understood as the link of domination between rulers and ruled, she provides useful reading keys for understanding the present and as many tools for projecting society of tomorrow. History (of thoughts, law and institutions) questions a work that challenges temporality. That of a condemned past, which threatens to repeat itself. That of a political grammar that claims to be eternal and, against it, that of this other past, which must inspire.
