Abstract. The paper opens with the outline of its context, including identification of the methodological axis for the analysis of "The Human Condition" and two lines of inquiry, the main one and the collateral one. What follows is a short presentation of the first two parts of the axis, human condition and practical activities, and then the paper focuses on the third part of the axis, fields of human life. The study of fields of human life comprises defining the notion of fields, scanning the process of their constitution, their relations to practical activities and their mutual relations, their development and characteristics of each field. The goal of the study is to discover why the mapping of the fields takes place in the concrete case of "The Human Condition" and the answer reached at the end is that the reason lies in the evaluation of human body. However, this evaluation is to some extent self-conscious.
Key words: mapping, fields, private, public, social, intimate, evaluation

PODRU�JA LJUDSKOG �IVOTA U "VITA ACTIVA"
HANE ARENT Na po�etku rada odre�uje se metodolo�ka osa za analizu "Vita activa" kao i dve mogu�e linije razmatranja, glavna i sekundarna; sledi kratko predstavljanje prva dva dela ose, ljudske uslovljenosti i prakti�nih aktivnosti, nakon �ega u fokus dolaze podru�ja ljudskog �ivota. Rad se bavi definisanjem pojma podru�ja, njihovim konstituisanjem, njihovim odnosima prema aktivnostima i njihovim me�usobnim odnosima, njihovim razvojem i odlikama svakog od njih. Cilj istra�ivanja je otkriti za�to se vr�i mapiranje podru�ja u "Vita activa", a odgovor do koga se sti�e je da je razlog za mapiranje zapravo vrednovanje ljudskog tela.
