Resumen
This essay elaborates on Hannah Arendt's until recently unpublished essay "The freedom to be free: the conditions and meaning of revolution" (dated 1966-1967 and now introduced in the volume "thinking without a banister. Essays in Understandin, 1954-1975" New York 2018). My claim is that in this essay Arendt partially reconsiders her theory of revolutions by amending her controversial positions as regards the so-called "social question", by criticizing more explicitly the traditional link between revolution and violence, by establishing a clearer nexus between revolution and natality. This essay re-defines revolutions as autonomous political beginnings, as in so doing offers another version of her notion of the "vita activa" as "circular" dimension, one that has its end in itself.
