Resumo
As a voice that still resonates in contemporaneity, Hannah Arendt has a prestigious place for us to
think about the political crisis in the current context. The present work aims to explore the decline
of public space and the obscuring of the meaning of politics from the modern phenomenon called
by Arendt as the victory of animal laborans. This phenomenon can be summarized as the
glorification of work activity in the modern world, promoting a dynamic of life shaped by the
search for meaning from work/consumption. In this sense, Arendt offers a phenomenology of the
activities that make up the human condition, namely, the activity of labor, work; action, being
conditions for life, worldliness and plurality, respectively. A journey through the meaning of these
activities is our first goal. Secondly, we will analyze the rise of labor (animal laborans) as a
condition of existence for a way of life in modernity, as well as the consequences for the
disappearance of the public space. With the victorious animal laborans, there is the establishment
of a society that privileges the private to the detriment of the public, generating alienation from the
world of human affairs and life itself in common. The crisis of the politics generated by the
alienation of the world and the superfluity of life will be the theme of the last chapter of this
dissertation.
