Abstract
To illustrate some of the main philosophic categories Hannath Arendt proposes, in order to establish the public and private spheres, is the aim of this article. Beginning with a sketch of the dismantling and reconquest methodology, its author shows how Arendt goes back to Prima Philosophiae and clarifies the process of creation and transformation of these spheres throughout Western Philosophy and, collects tracks and marks of disappeared practices and clues of new projects to be disclosed as well. In a second section, the author takes again Arendt's proposal up to consider thought as a faculty of the spirit and insists on the primacy of common sense and everyday life world as irreplaceable spaces of public and private coexistence. The last section is devoted to Arendt's focusing on will; it explains how new categories of `birth' and `action' are worked out as momentous in the mutual deterrnination of the public and private spheres, overcoming its traditional confrontation and dichotomy.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
