Abstract: There is a community of thoughts between Keynes and Arendt manifested in their rejection of economic hedonism. They both take the need for self-esteem seriously, that religion did meet for a time and that modern sciences ignores. Despite the violence of the 20th century, they intend to maintain the high regard for humanity that was born in Ancient Greece. Keynes and Arendt rely on human freedom to initiate a new beginning and believe in the human faculty to perform miracles.
