Hannah Arendt: A Reinterpretation of Her Political Thought - Paperback

by Margaret Canovan (Author)

Margaret Canovan argues in this book that much of the published work on Arendt has been flawed by serious misunderstandings, arising from a failure to see her work in its proper context. The author shows how such misunderstanding was possible, and offers a fundamental reinterpretation, drawing on Arendt's unpublished as well as her published work, which sheds new light on most areas of her thought.

'Margaret Canovan, who has written on Arendt before, now gives us a beautifully composed and mature account of her political thought as a whole, drawing extensively on unpublished sources to illuminate major works such as The Origins of Totalitarianism and The Human Condition.' - David Miller, The Times Literary Supplement.
