SUMMARY:

The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the constitutive elements of the foundation of modern political bodies in Hannah Arendt's thought, which took place within the French and American revolutions. The author exposes in her work On Revolution (2006) the complexity of the process of formation of new political bodies that diverge from the aristocratic models dominated by tyranny. According to Arendt's perspective, the phenomenon of revolution broke through the flow of the continuum of History and, in this way, possibilities for new formulations within the scope of political activities were presented. In the first chapter of the dissertation, we will identify what the thinker understands as the meaning of the phenomenon of revolution, as well as its inherent aspects, namely freedom, the social question, the transformations accompanied by modernity, and the character of novelty. In the second chapter, we will deal with issues related to political experiences and readings that Arendt relates to the moment of the revolution and the foundation of political bodies, as well as her interpretation of the constitutive elements of the revolution, such as Declarations of rights and Constitutions. In this chapter it will also be analyzed the widely agreed first foundation and the search on both sides of the Atlantic to find this foundation, reflected in the question of the absolute. Following up, in the last chapter, we will highlight Arendt's formulations about what ended up being founded from the revolutionary phenomena of the 18th century, what she delineates as the lost treasure of revolutions and, in the end, her legacy left for later generations. Therefore, through this path, we intend to facilitate the understanding of the relationship between revolution and politics.
