What is politics? How is politics different from other spheres of
human life? What is behind the debasement of political life today?
This book argues that the most illuminating answers to these
questions have come from Hannah Arendt. Arendt held that Western
philosophy has never had a 'pure concept of the political', and
that political philosophers have been guided and misguided by the
assumptions implicit in their metaphysical questions. Her project
was 'to look at politics ... with eyes unclouded by philosophy',
and to retrieve the non-theoretical understanding of politics
implicit in ancient Greek literature and history. David Arndt's
original and accessible study shows how Arendt reworked some of the
basic concepts of political philosophy, which in turn led her to a
re-interpretation of American political history and even to a
profoundly original reading of the US Declaration of Independence.
