Hannah Arendt and Nativity between Ontological and Political Issues
Abstract
The concept of “birth” in Hannah Arendt's philosophy reveals the novelty, freedom and responsibility of human action. The analysis develops through references to Augustine, Heidegger and the Christian tradition, emphasising the value of birth for understanding human beings and political life.
