description Is Arendt a republican? If one takes into account her emphasis on action, thehorizontal formation of power and the foundation of the civic republic, one can onlyanswer this question in the affirmative. But if one takes the republican discourse ofPettit (freedom as freedom from interference), Viroli and Skinner (civic virtue) orRichter (good government) (Pettit, 1997; Viroli, 2002; Skinner, 1998; Richter, 2004)as a yardstick, doubts arise.The results of Arendt's analyses remain fragmentary and have elicited criticalcomments referring to the broad incompatibility of Arendt's pure definition ofpower, action, and politics/society with liberal society. What is overlooked in thesereadings is precisely the great potential for critique that goes hand in hand with thissupposed detachment from reality. I would like to illustrate this with two examples:firstly, Arendt's definition of power, which focuses not on the parliamentary andparty system of representation, but on participatory citizenship, and secondly,Arendt's reflections on councils -councils- as an original form of organizing action.In this article, we will examine the meaning of phenomena containing also thepotential of their possibilities: the between of intersubjectivity, the role of theperson, impartial thinking and cosmopolitan judgment, the institutionalization ofplurality in the form of federalism and, finally, the method of poetic thinking and therole of emotions.In doing so, we will encounter the significance of Arendt's particular way of thinking,which is expressed in the difference in the title of this essay: between a republicanthought that revolves around the conceptual characteristics of the republic in termsof political science (republican thought) and Arendt's thought, which is itselfrepublican in its activity and shapes content and form together (republican thought).

Si se tiene en cuenta su énfasis en la acción, la formación horizontal del poder y la fundación de la república cívica, sólo se puede responder afirmativamente a esta pregunta. Pero si se toma como baremo el discurso republicano de Pettit (libertad como ausencia de injerencia), Viroli y Skinner (virtud cívica) o Richter (buen gobierno) (Pettit, 1997; Viroli, 2002; Skinner, 1998; Richter, 2004), surgen las dudas. Porque este discurso pretende definir una sociedad civil basada en el autogobierno, la separación de poderes, la participación y la integridad moral, elementos que, juntos, forman una imagen completa de una república. Aunque Arendt en su libro sobre el fundamento de la libertad (Arendt,1988) discute los elementos necesarios de manera similar - autogobierno, separación de poderes, bicameralismo, federalismo, autoridad- se hace evidente una diferencia esencial. Arendt é uma republicana? Se levarmos em conta sua ênfase na ação, a formação horizontal do poder e a fundação da república cívica, só podemos Se levarmos em conta sua ênfase na ação, a formação horizontal do poder e a fundação da república cívica, essa pergunta só pode ser respondida afirmativamente.A resposta a essa pergunta é afirmativa. Mas se considerarmos o discurso republicano de Pettitdiscurso republicano de Pettit (liberdade como não interferência), Viroli e Skinner (virtude cívica) ou Richter (virtude cívica) (liberdade como não interferência), Viroli e Skinner (virtude cívica) ou Richter (boa governança) (Pettit, 1997; Viroli, 2002; Skinner, 1998; Richter, 2004), surgem dúvidas. Como esse discurso afirma definir uma sociedade civil baseada em autogovernança, separação de poderes, participação e integridade moral, elementos que, juntos, formam a base de uma sociedade civil.A sociedade civil é baseada na integridade moral, elementos que, juntos, formam um quadro completo de uma república. Embora Arendt, em seu livro sobre o fundamento da liberdade (Arendt, 1988), discute os elementos necessários de forma semelhante - autogoverno, separação de poderes, participação e integridade moral.Os elementos necessários de forma semelhante - autogoverno, separação de poderes, bicameralismo, bicameralismo, federalismo, bicameralismo, federalismo, autoridade - uma diferença essencial se torna aparente.
