Between Past and Future (Penguin Classics)

Between Past and Future (Penguin Classics)

From the author of Eichmann in Jerusalem and The Origins of Totalitarianism, â‚¬Å“a book to think with through the political impasses and cultural confusions of our dayâ‚¬Â (Harperâ‚¬s Magazine)
Â
Hannah Arendtâ‚¬s insightful observations of the modern world, based on a profound knowledge of the past, constitute an impassioned contribution to political philosophy. In Between Past and Future Arendt describes the perplexing crises modern society faces as a result of the loss of meaning of the traditional key words of politics: justice, reason, responsibility, virtue, and glory. Through a series of eight exercises, she shows how we can redistill the vital essence of these concepts and use them to regain a frame of reference for the future. To participate in these exercises is to associate, in action, with one of the most original and fruitful minds of the twentieth century.
