The purpose of this essay is to underline the existing argumentation of new approaches to the complex issue of democratic deliberation and political participation of citizens, especially with regard to the choice of political representation as an alternative to that offered by the traditional hegemonic democratic-liberal predominant in our days. I will focus on some of the most relevant thesis put forward by Hannah Arendt which I consider paradigmatic of alternative theories, as it emphasizes the education of public values as a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for citizens to fight for their rights and to assume their duties, in order to reach the relevant agreements that denote their willingness to belong to, and to identify with, one political community and not with another.
