This book treats Hannah Arendt as a distinctly political writer who
attempts to carve out a way in which humanity, poised between the
Holocaust and the atom bomb, might reclaim its position as the
creators of a world fit for human habitation. LaFay argues that
Arendt tries to bring a humanity into modernity, rejecting the
argument that Arendt is an 'antimodernist lover of the Greek
polis.' Rather, Arendt tries to politically reconcile the potential
of humanity with the demands of the modern condition: she
encourages us to locate and use the expressive element of the
modern for our political ends. This work identifies the paradox of
Arendt's choice of an expressive, existentialist interpretation of
politics over that of a politics of vision and imagination,
concluding that Arendt's politics leads to little more than
political aesthetics.
