This study aims to explore the relationship between thought and action in Hannah Arendt’s philosophy, emphasizing the importance of fostering students’ ability to critically reflect on their own actions. The research investigates the human faculty of “Thinking” and its close connection with “Action”, arguing that these two faculties, in Arendt’s view, are not opposites but engage in dialogue. Based on this analysis, the study proposes a philosophical approach to high school education that encourages students to reflect on their actions in an educational context increasingly oriented toward labor and fabrication. By exploring Arendt’s philosophy and her defense of action as something plural and interconnected within the “web of human relationships”, the research seeks to reflect on how critical thinking can be cultivated in the classroom to prepare individuals for plurality. The investigation culminates in a pedagogical intervention in which arendtian concepts are applied in an educational project aimed at combating racism and bullying in the school environment, demonstrating the effectiveness of philosophy in promoting ethical and social reflection among students
