Features: This book provides a fair and timely reassessment of Hannah Arendt's contributions to social and political theory, and will be welcomed by students and scholars of political science, sociology, and philosophy. This new study offers a fresh and timely reassessment of Hannah Arendt's political philosophy. Centered on the central themes of Arendt's entire body of work, Philip Hansen also demonstrates the outstanding contributions her writings have made to contemporary political debates. Particularly, Hansen argues that Arendt offers compelling arguments on what constitutes politicized thinking and what constitutes politicized action. In today's world where genuine politics faces various threats, this argument can help establish the foundation of contemporary civic reason.
