The main scope of this study was to investigate the antinomies incurred by Hannah Arendt in her complex theoretical path in the field of political thought. Among these antinomies, we point out her criticism of Nazism, nourished by some philosophical sources similar to that movement; her defense of reason, which refuses, in some decisive aspects, the rationality of history; her apology of revolution, characterized by an aristocratic concept of political participation; at last, Being Hannah Arendt a thinker considered difficult to be classified, this study shows that, in essence, her ideas are connected to the canons of political liberalism. By analyzing her early writings until the eve of The life of the mind we tried to approach mainly the prominent role of Karl Marx s works as object of criticism. These critiques compelled her to develop her own positions, particularly the controversial and even incorrect analysis about Marx s works. Finally, we tried to evidence that the conservatism of Hannah Arendt was strengthened by her criticism of Marx and at the same time, by the fact that World War Second became a distant event, while there was an intensification of Cold War
