Identidad narrativa y vida humana en la obra de Arendt

Abstract

Arendt’s works are strewn with reflections on narrativity, biography and the role of tales and stories. But there is absolutely no structured theory on these subjects. A thorough reading of her notes on these ideas reveals its importance. She is also interested on human life, seen as a life different from the biological life. Human life plays a political role: it builds a human world. That has to be well understood in order not to mix, as happed in modernity, life and politics, what has created the alienation of life and world.
