Summary/Abstract: The active/activa image of Hannah Arendt is required to be engaged here – in the corpus of the present article] to the rule of three; on the one hand, through the indirectly-justifying reporting of her roleand place in the context of international relations, through a reading –punctually – applied (as Hannah Arendt attributed to Pentagon Papers,extending the philosophical significance to political/politics); on theother hand, by placing – as place and role – into the group portrait ofwomen-thinkers of political theory; and through the evaluation of two approaches (Anthony F. Lang, Jr., John Williams, eds., Hannah Arendt and International Relations. Readings Across the Lines, 2005 and Patricia Owens, Between War and Politics. International Relations and the Thought of Hannah Arendt, 2007), directly concerned with correcting the notable absence of the researcher and the obscure restraint that perpetuates her attraction and involvement in the international relations debate. Although “Arendt is not a solution to the problems of IR theory“,one cannot deny “her special applicability (...), as she can be a stimulating read for a wider variety of IR theorists“ (A. F. Lang Jr., J. Williams, 2005: 2).
