This is about the “Concept of Justice in Hannah Arendt", which is not explicit in his works, but presents itself as an implicit concept of Justice Equitable. Fairness can understand the adequacy of the law (in its broadest sense, encompassing the law, the Constitution, the Law and the actions taken by the government) to the case, identifying justice with legitimacy. Justice as fairness, in Arendt is approached from Totalitarianism, particularly in the National Socialist German Party (1933-1945), which did not change the country's laws, just did not use them, removing the stability that laws – known and obeyed – to provide an organized community. Justice, for Arendt, contains the elements of legal support, judgment, thought and will components of the “contemplative life”, which underlie the action. In this vein, the concept of Justice, in Arendt's political thought is linked to the ethics of responsibility. Freedom is a conditio sine qua non for the development of laws and customs of receptivity to the sphere of law , with respect to the plurality , which is one of political categories Arendt 's work as only between equals ( Peer this ) is that the man can act . In this view, citizenship is a key element for the realization of a new thinking and a new act, founding the law, perceived as fair. Only then, each participant and feel responsible, whatever, the ethic of responsibility can be exercised in daily life.
