Resumen
La propuesta del presente escrito será establecer una discusión sobre algunos supues_x0002_tos teóricos expuestos por Hannah Arendt, en particular, de algunas ideas sobre la libertad, la política, la acción y los principios en el ámbito de la esfera pública. De tal modo el interés principal es describir como en la teoría política de Arendt se han ana_x0002_lizado los conceptos de libertad y política a partir de un espacio común que privilegia la igualdad desde la opinión y la acción, o en palabras de la autora, desde la palabra y obra. Por tanto, la tesis a defender en estas líneas es que la libertad se expresa a través de la acción de los individuos en una actividad de agrupación donde existen unos principios generales, y que, la materialización de estos conduciría a esa libertad.
The proposal of this paper will be to establish a discussion on some theoretical assumptions put forward by Hannah Arendt, in particular, some ideas about freedom, politics, action and principles in the public sphere. Thus, the main interest is to describe how in Arendt's political theory the concepts of freedom and politics have been analyzed from a common space that privileges equality from opinion and action, or in the author's words, from word and deed. Therefore, the thesis to be defended in these lines is that freedom is expressed through the action of individuals in a grouping activity where there are general principles, and that the materialization of these would lead to that freedom.
