Arendt: A Guide for the Perplexed

Hannah Arendt is considered to be one of the most influential political thinkers of the twentieth century. The enormous breadth of her work places particular demands on the student coming to her thought for the first time. In Arendt: A Guide for the Perplexed, Karin Fry explores the systematic nature of Arendt''s political thought that arose in response to the political controversies of her time and describes how she sought to envision a coherent framework for thinking about politics in a new way. Thematically structured and covering all of Arendt''s key writings and ideas, this book is designed specifically to meet the needs of students coming to her work for the first time.>
