Abstract

The article aims to discuss the Arendtian style of philosophizing. Our working hypothesis is simple to enunciate: for us, Arendt elaborated, in addition to the question What is Politics, and perhaps because of it, also the question What is Philosophy, what is thinking. In our perspective, three images used by Arendt can be understood as metaphors to understand what Philosophy is. They are: the spectator, the storyteller and the pariah. In this article we will approach the figure of the storyteller as a metaphor for philosophizing in Arendt.
