The past year has seen a resurgence of interest in the political
thinker Hannah Arendt, “the theorist of beginnings,” whose work
probes the logics underlying unexpected transformations—from
totalitarianism to revolution. A work of striking originality, The
Human Condition is in many respects more relevant now than when it
first appeared in 1958. In her study of the state of modern
humanity, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of
the actions of which it is capable. The problems Arendt identified
then—diminishing human agency and political freedom, the paradox
that as human powers increase through technological and humanistic
inquiry, we are less equipped to control the consequences of our
actions—continue to confront us today. This new edition,
published to coincide with the sixtieth anniversary of its original
publication, contains Margaret Canovan’s 1998 introduction and a
new foreword by Danielle Allen. A classic in political and social
theory, The Human Condition is a work that has proved both timeless
and perpetually timely.
