Abstract

The study aims to explore the objections that Arendt addresses to Kant regarding the question of free will. Arendt sees the will as being the source of action, capable of bringing something new to the world that cannot be explained by a chain of causality, as suggested by Kant in his Third Antinomy. Yet contrary to Kantian thought, Arendt defends the thesis that the will is its own sake, or not is a will, it is not possible to consider it only a tool of practical reason.

Keywords: action, free will, pratical reason.
