Cartesian Doubt as a Symptom of Modernity, According to Hannah Arendt

This work analyzes Cartesian doubt as a fundamental element describing the human attitude in modernity from the philosophical field, based on the criteria of Hannah Arendt. Arendt ex plains that the growth of doubt and science, introspection and the loss of common sense were simultaneous, as well as the unavoidable tendency to the loss of the human sense of action, substituted with the as cent of the work of homo faber and finally, by labor. For this reason, consider that human relations have been affected up to the exacerbation of individualism as the pre-ponderant life style of our age.
