Abstract

The relationship between "politics" and "everyday life" in Hannah Arendt in the modern world is expressed by concepts such as "power", "public space", "action" and "non-violence". In fact, the relationship between politics and the public sphere is formed through a kind of togetherness. The main question of this paper is: What is the relationship between political imagination and the virtue of friendship according to Aristotle and Arendt in the formation of daily life?
And the hypothesis is: Political imagination and virtue of friendship according to Aristotle and Arendt in the public sphere are formed through factors such as "ethics", "forgiveness", "promise" and "dynamic tradition". The method of this research is Husserl phenomenology. . The findings are that Aristotle's view of man is "essentialist" and Arendt's view is "non-essentialist"; But in both of these thinkers, "public sphere" and "friendship" play an important role in biosocial development and the development of a life free of violence and the attainment of peace. Arendt, like Aristotle, introduced life to the "pre-political" realm, meaning "toil" and "work," which is toil, "perishable," and work, "stabilizing," and the "political realm," which includes the "public sphere" and "action" is divided.
