In Arendt's Judgment, Jonathan Peter Schwartz explores the nature
of human judgment, the subject of the planned third volume of
Hannah Arendt's The Life of the Mind, which was left unwritten at
the time of her death. Arguing that previous interpretations of
Arendt failed to fully appreciate the central place of judgment in
her thought, Schwartz contends that understanding Arendt's ideas
requires not only interpreting her published work but also
reconstructing her thinking from a broader range of sources,
including her various essays, lecture course notes, unpublished
material, and correspondence. When these sources are taken into
account, it becomes clear that, for Arendt, political judgment was
the answer to the question of how human freedom could be realized
in the modern world. This new approach to understanding Arendt
leads to what Schwartz argues are original insights Arendt can
teach us about the nature of politics beyond sovereignty and the
role of human agency in history. Above all, her novel understanding
of the authentic nature and purpose of political philosophy is
finally revealed. Schwartz claims that in her theory of political
judgment Arendt presented a vision of political philosophy that is
improved and deepened by the contributions of ordinary, active
citizens. Along with challenging previous interpretations, Arendt's
Judgment provides a roadmap to her published and unpublished work
for scholars and students.
