HANNAH ARENDT - GEBRAUCHT THE HUMAN CONDITION -...

A classic work of political thought  more relevant today than ever The twenty-first century 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.
