HANNAH ARENDT - GEBRAUCHT THE HUMAN CONDITION -...

The past year has seen a resurgence of interest in the political thinker Hannah Arendt  "the
theorist of beginnings " whose work probes the logics underlying unexpected
transformations--from totalitarianism to revolution. A work of striking originality  The Human
Condition is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. In her
study of the state of modern humanity  Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective
of the actions of which it is capable. The problems Arendt identified then--diminishing human
agency and political freedom  the paradox that as human powers increase through technological
and humanistic inquiry  we are less equipped to control the consequences of our
actions--continue to confront us today. This new edition  published to coincide with the
sixtieth anniversary of its original publication  contains Margaret Canovan's 1998 introduction
and a new foreword by Danielle Allen. A classic in political and social theory  The Human
Condition is a work that has proved both timeless and perpetually timely.
