Jan Patocka repeatedly refers to Hannah Arendt when, in agreement with her, he puts the sphere of life-maintenance work, and thus the economic sphere in general, into opposition with political life. This does not, however, mean there are no differences between them on other questions. While Arendt is convinced that only a misunderstanding of the difference between thinking and knowing can lead to the expectation of truth from thinking, Patocka emphasises, in the context of a critique of Heidegger, that it must be possible to evaluate even a philosophical conception from the point of view of truth. The divergence here is however reduced by the fact that for Patocka truth in philosophy must be distinguished from truth in the sense of adequate knowledge. While the result of caring for the soul is, for Patocka, the enhancement of attempts to arrive at a solid unity of being, Arendt puts emphasis on the essential duality which is characteristic of the thinking self. Another difference is their evaluation of the political thinking of Plato and Aristotle, something which is related to their differing conceptions of authority. For Arendt, authority presupposes a conviction about the sacredness of the act of founding a community, which is something specifically Roman and which, in this specific sense, never existed among the Greeks who were able to continually repeat the founding of the polis when founding colonies. Against this, Patocka judges that Plato would have liked to renew the synthesis of authority and freedom which the Athenian community was once famous for. There is, in connection with this, a differing conception of further European development: Arendt emphasises the role played by the revival of the Roman conception of tradition based on founding, in the birth of the Christian church.

Hannah Arendt’s project of analysing the political quality in the era of the end of the political quality is discussed on two levels: first, as Arendt’s understanding the political quality “from the hermeneutical point of view”, i.e. as related to human “being-in-the world” (Human Condition); second, as her understanding it “from the performativity point of view”, i.e. as a public personification, a masquerade (On Revolution). The question of how the political quality, which determines “human concerns”, or “human condition” renders the same human life in its private sphere as non-political and anti-political, is then discussed on that basis.

This paper constitutes an attempt at analysing the phenomenon of post-truth from the perspective of the political thought of Hannah Arendt. It discusses the hypothesis: the problem of post-truth in politics had been described by Arendt before the term “post-truth” appeared. The applied methodology consists of the analysis of source texts inspired by hermeneutics, history of ideas and Arendtian narrative on politics.

The article briefly discusses selected sociological approaches to public sphere, in particular those of J. Habermas, N. Luhmann and H. Arendt, showing the relationships between this subject and the problematic of formal and informal norms. Authors stress the necessity of directing sociological reflection on norms in the public sphere towards the issue of their actual social effect. This should allow sociological theories to avoid empirically unverifiable assumptions and counterfactual convictions regarding the functioning of public sphere. Having said that, the authors introduce papers collected in the volume.
