Resumo: This thesis, whose title is Plurality, Representation and Political Meaning: a Reading of the foundations of power and authority in Nation-States from Hannah Arendt, and whose author is Caio de Souza Cazarotto, aims to study the true foundation of power and authority in the political plane of the Nation State. Therefore, it seeks to conceptualize these aspects of the aforementioned plan of some of the so-called Nation States, with emphasis on the considerations made by Hannah Arendt in this regard. The concepts related to the exercise of power theorized by the author explain the peculiar ontological importance of political structuring. Whether from the historiographical, philosophical and/or sociological point of view, Arendt's paradigms of interpretation of political power are multiple, her propositions for understanding the theme in its developments in the modern era point to considerations in which freedom and political action are synonymous, mainly with regard to representativeness. Based on the assumption of vita activa, the field of politics is the only human activity that presupposes plurality, which, in Arendt's thinking, is approached from the foundations to effective authority in the political sphere. From a panoramic point of view, Arendt's reflections are emphatic with regard to modernity and the political transformations that have taken place, such as the forgetting of politics. Contiguously, we have the approach of totalitarianism and its coercive devices, from which mass society and its apolitical condition proceed, mainly in view of the functioning of totalitarian regimes, whose purposes of domination had a doctrinal character. In opposition to this framework and with the emphasis on valuing revolutionary political aspects, Arendt's reflections fall on the rescue of humanism in politics. In these terms, his vision of the Nation State conceives it as an institution that promotes a certain set of social relations whose core must have as parameters the cohesive factors of human relations in society. As we will see, themes related to power present as interfaces the potentialities, but also the problems of political action in modernity, since this requires a basic aspect, authority in its main attribute, the foundation of a political body – more specifically, of a new political body –, which, by implication and extension, promotes birth and hope while maintaining actions converted into public policies based on dialogic practice
