This work is situated between the defense of the human capability of action, the violent contemporary political scene (which puts men under the dictates of the necessities and makes them atomized) and the possibilities of action in spite of this scene, once men are the eternal guardians of the good news. Thus, the action is central in this work. We begin developing this concept – one of the most original in Arendt’s work – and arguing in benefit of this activity as decisive to reveal the human excellence and, above all, to engender politics. Next, we undertake the critic of the politics in Modernity, seeking to follow the way drew by Arendt until the triumph of the animal laborans – then, also of the labor – and its implications. We return to action in the last chapter, having as central the following question: what are the possibilities of action in a scene in which the animal laborans wins? This defense of the action can be understood as a possibility to find in men what make them truly humans and to give dignity to politics. These possibilities are indicated in the necessity to stabilize the action, but also in the importance of ensuring its spontaneous character. Thus, these possibilities are indicated in the foundation, which stabilizes the action, in the defense of the council system and in the civil disobedience.
