Abstract

The article concerns the ontological approach of the public sphere. It has two dimensions: it is simultaneously the sphere of the disclosure of the identity of the agent and the common world. The author presents them in a context of action and speech. This shows that in the first dimension it is all what appears to be general and for each is audible and visible while the common world is created by the human relations. The author distinguishes the two modes of the relationships in the common world, such as being together with others as well as being separated from others. Their relationship to action and speech is proceeded with the analysis of the character of speech and action relationship. Arendt formulates the thesis of the relationship in which the actor is the speaker and in which the speaker is simultaneously a running narration. This action is a manifestation of being together with others. While the operation and its associated question will reveal the speaker who is acting in action, it will create the relationship of being separated from others. The author assumes that the two relationships shape the action. Moreover, it notes the action and speech pay the role of forgiveness and promises, which are acts of speech.
