Abstract

The aim of this paper is to determine the role, not always unambiguous, that Karl Marx plays in Hannah Arendt’s endeavour of outlining a thought of the political free from metaphysical categories. Both a modern thinker of labour, History and violence, and at the same time the last tie to the forgotten Greek, pre-philosophical experience of the political, the keys of the Arendt’s dialogue with Marx help to illuminate Arendt’s own theoretical project.
