She was extremely perceptive about the dark tendencies in contemporary life that continue to plague us. She developed a concept of politics and public freedom that serves as a critical standard for judging what is wrong with politics today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Richard J. Bernstein argues that Arendt should be read today because her penetrating insights help us to think about both the darkness of our times and the sources of illumination. He explores her thinking about statelessness and refugees; the right to have rights; her critique of Zionism; the meaning of the banality of evil; the complex relations between truth, lying, power, and violence; the tradition of the revolutionary spirit; and the urgent need for each of us to assume responsibility for our political lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This short and very readable book will be of great interest to anyone who wants to understand the forces that are shaping our world today.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStatelessness and Refugees\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Right to Have Rights\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLoyal Opposition: Arendt's Critique of Zionism\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRacism and Segregation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Banality of Evil\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTruth, Politics and Lying\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlurality, Politics, and Public Freedom\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe American Revolution and the Revolutionary Spirit\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePersonal and Political Responsibility\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441792446744,"sku":"9781509528592","price":28.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509528592.jpg?v=1785025563","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/why-read-hannah-arendt-now-hardback-9781509528592","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
