Abstract

When the subject in question is contemporary political thought, Arendt's studies are indispensable. She has become a reference in this subject since the publication of her work The Origins of Totalitarianism. In this article, however, the objective is not to discuss or analyze the concept of this author's policy or necessarily relate it to a particular theory or form of government, but to present in an introductory and elementary way, some aspects of her considerations and positions on the feeling of compassion in politics as understood by her, especially as they appear in her work On Revolution.
