内容説明

This is a reassessment of the political philosophy of Hannah Arendt. While analyzing the central themes of Arendt's work, Hansen also shows that her political thinking makes a significant contribution to contemporary debates. Among other issues, Hansen discusses Arendt's conception of history and historical action; her account of politics and of the distinction between the public and the private; her analysis of totalitarianism as the most ominous form of a "false" politics and her treatment of revolution and utopia. This book also relates Arendt's contributions to the views of contemporary social and political theorists including Jurgen Habermas and Claude Lefort.

内容説明

The new study provides a fresh and timely reassessment of the political philosophy of Hannah Arendt. While analysing the central themes of Arendt's work, Phillip Hansen also shows that her work makes a significant contribution to contemporary debates. Specifically, Hansen argues that Arendt provides a powerful account of what it means to think and act politically. This account can establish the grounds for a contemporary citizen rationality in the face of threat to a genuine politics. Amoung other issues, Hansen discusses Arendt's conception of history and historical action; her account of politics and of the distinction between public and private; her analysis of totalitarianism as the most ominous form of 'false ' politics; and her treatment of revolution. The book is a balanced and opportune reappraisal of Arendt's contributions to social and political theory. It will be welcomed by students and scholars in politics, sociology and philosophy.
