Abstract

Arendt reminds that society is a fiction. It is a theoretical object invented and endowed with a principle of imaginary unity, such as the invisible hand or the social contract whose main fault is to ignore that humans are speaking beings. These images, which are in themselves only a theoretic process, become problematic when they are taken for facts. And if it comes the project to install a social ideal in reality, this can only be done by seeking to eliminate communication between people.
