This paper investigates the positions of John Rawls’ political liberalism and Hannah Arendt’s republicanism concerning civic humanism and classical republicanism. It argues that Arendt’s republicanism should not be considered a comprehensive civic humanism and that there is a proximity between political liberalism and classical republicanism, as it maintains that a minimalist perfectionism based on political virtues informs both theories.
