as an attempt to come to terms with evil. It reintroduces philosophy to anyone interested in
questions of life and death good and evil suffering and sense. Featuring a substantial new
afterword by Neiman that raises provocative questions about Hannah Arendts take on Adolf
Eichmann and the rationale behind the Hiroshima bombing this Princeton Classics edition
introduces a new generation of readers to this eloquent and thought-provoking meditation on
good and evil life and death and suffering and sense.
