concentrates on the aesthetic political character of appearance and judgement (both showing marked ‘performative’ features) and aims at defining the ontological and phenomenological premises of political stances and aggregations, in both action and judgment. In this paper I describe the meeting of politics and aesthetics in Hannah Arendt’s thought, following three main guiding principles: 1) a foundation that is more bio-aesthetic than anthropological of birth-natality as the arrival and appearance of an individual on the world stage. 2) a nexus of doxa-judgment,
giving rise to an ontological perspectivism: each ‘opinion’ reveals a ‘portion of the world’. 3) a chiasma of action and judgment (following the Denkungsart of the faculty of judgment formulated by Kant in the Third Critique) as group-being performativity.
