Swedish term or phrase: framträdelsen inför andra
Liksom för Goldstein och Gehlen var självbevarelse således även för Arendt ett problem, som löstes genom distansering från naturen. Ett mänskligt liv innebar att försätta sig i en sådan situation att problemet inte längre var det som akut måste lösas utan där intresset kunde riktas mot andra mål, mål som till och med kunde innebära att självbevarelsen åsidosattes. För Arendt var framträdelsen inför andra det mest autentiska mänskliga livet och hon sökte till och med stöd för den tanken i zoologen Adolf Portmanns biologiska teorier.

appearance before others
Explanation:
"Before" would be the preposition most likely used in this context.

"Framträdelse" means the act or process of something coming to appear, so "appearance" is a reasonable guess, and "appearance before others" also does give a few google hits in connection with Arendt, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is another term.

the appearance to others


Explanation:
Because of the wording in Hannah Arendt's The Human Condition, I think it would be preferable to use "to others."

I agree that the preposition "to" seems jarring at first and that "before" would be a more natural choice. Still, because of Arendt's writing on the concepts of appearance of space and action, I think she focuses on how one's self appears "to" others in the same sense that one's self is revealed to others. I found the same thinking - and the use of "appearance to others" - on p. 2 of the following: http://www.up.ac.za/dspace/bitstream/2263/7521/1/More (2008)...

Example sentence(s):
  • ...where I appear to others as others appear to me...
