As a voice that still resonates in contemporaneity, Hannah Arendt has a prestigious place for us to think about the political crisis in the current context. The present work aims to explore the decline of public space and the obscuring of the meaning of politics from the modern phenomenon called by Arendt as the victory of animal laborans. This phenomenon can be summarized as the glorification of work activity in the modern world, promoting a dynamic of life shaped by the search for meaning from work/consumption. In this sense, Arendt offers a phenomenology of the activities that make up the human condition, namely, the activity of labor, work; action, being conditions for life, worldliness and plurality, respectively. A journey through the meaning of these activities is our first goal. Secondly, we will analyze the rise of labor (animal laborans) as a condition of existence for a way of life in modernity, as well as the consequences for the disappearance of the public space. With the victorious animal laborans, there is the establishment of a society that privileges the private to the detriment of the public, generating alienation from the world of human affairs and life itself in common. The crisis of the politics generated by the alienation of the world and the superfluity of life will be the theme of the last chapter of this dissertation.
