Hannah Arendt is one of the most renowned political thinkers of the twentieth century, and her work has never been more relevant than it is today. Born in Germany in 1906, Arendt published her first book at the age of twenty-three, before turning away from the world of academic philosophy to reckon with the rise of the Third Reich. After World War II, Arendt became one of the most prominent—and controversial—public intellectuals of her time, publishing influential works such as The Origins of Totalitarianism, The Human Condition, and Eichmann in Jerusalem.

This Very Short Introduction explores the philosophical ideas and political theories belonging to one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. As a survivor of the Holocaust, Arendt's life informed her work exploring the meaning and construction of power, evil, totalitarianism, and direct democracy. Dana Villa explains how Arendt gained world-wide fame with the publication of The Origins of Totalitarianism, and went on to have a distinguished career as a political theorist and public intellectual.

Hannah Arendt was a polarizing cultural theorist—extolled by her peers as a visionary and berated by her critics as a poseur and a fraud. Born in Prussia to assimilated Jewish parents, she escaped from Hitler’s Germany in 1933. Arendt is now best remembered for the storm of controversy that surrounded her 1963 New Yorker series on the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a kidnapped Nazi war criminal. In this comprehensive biography, Anne C. Heller tracks the source of Arendt’s contradictions and achievements to her sense of being a “conscious pariah”.

HANNAH ARENDT (1906-1975) es una de las pensadoras más influyentes del siglo XX. Emigrada a París tras el ascenso del nazismo, en 1941 marchó a vivir a Estados Unidos, donde ejerció como docente en la Universidad de Chicago, en Berkeley y Princeton. Con obras como Los orígenes del totalitarismo (1951), La condición humana (1958) y Eichmann en Jerusalén (1963) se consagró como referente de la teoría política contemporánea.

"La terrible, l'indicible, l'impensable banalité du mal." Trop souvent amputée, cette citation pose chez Hannah Arendt les bases d'une réflexion résolument ancrée dans le réel. L'émergence des totalitarismes, appuyés sur des idéologies puissantes, force les philosophes du XXe siècle à se positionner. La relation des penseurs avec le pouvoir et les mécaniques intellectuelles justifiant la barbarie des actes sont au cœur d'une problématique ancienne alors portée à son paroxysme.
