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.
