Abstract
RESUMEN: El último libro que Arendt se planteó escribir, sobre la capacidad de juzgar, iba a cerrar la trilogía sobre «La vida del espíritu». El proyecto quedó reducido a un paratexto formado por un título y dos citas, una de ellas tomada del quinto acto de la segunda parte del «Fausto» de Goethe. El presente trabajo plantea una lectura del contexto de esta cita con la obra de Arendt que permita esclarecer por qué habría tenido sentido incluir precisamente esta referencia al principio del volumen nunca escrito. Lejos de poder ser leído, desde Arendt, solo como ejemplo de dictador totalitario, el personaje de Fausto puede ser también leído, con Arendt, en clave política desde otra perspectiva. Su disputa con la alegoría de la inquietud y de la cura, la Sorge, nos presenta a una figura en vías de convertirse en «persona» capaz de reflexionar y por tanto juzgar: máscara con voz propia.

The present article proposes a reading of the context of this quotation with Arendt’s work in order to clarify why it would have made sense to include precisely this referemce as an opening of the never-written volume. Far from being read, with Arendt, only as an example of a totalitarian dictator, the character of Fausto can also be read from another political perspective. His dispute with the allegory of restlessness and healing, the Sorge, presents us with a figure about to become a person capable of reflection and therefore judgement: a mask with a voice of his own.
