Hannah Arendt's (1906-1975) writings, both in public magazines and
in her important books, are still widely studied today. She made
original contributions in political thinking that still astound
readers and critics alike. The subject of several films and
numerous books, colloquia, and newspaper articles, Arendt remains a
touchstone in innumerable debates about the use of violence in
politics, the responsibility one has under dictatorships and
totalitarianism, and how to combat the repetition of the horrors of
the past. The Bloomsbury Companion to Arendt offers the definitive
guide to her writings and ideas, her influences and commentators,
as well as the reasons for her lasting significance, with 66
original essays taking up in accessible terms the myriad ways in
which one can take up her work and her continuing importance. These
essays, written by an international set of her best readers and
commentators, provides a comprehensive coverage of her life and the
contexts in which her works were written. Special sections take up
chapters on each of her key writings, the reception of her work,
and key ways she interpreted those who influenced her. If one has
come to Arendt from one of her essays on freedom, or from yet
another bombastic account of her writings on Adolph Eichmann, or as
as student or professor working in the field of Arendt studies,
this book provides the ideal tool for thinking with and
rediscovering one of the most important intellectuals of the past
century. But just as importantly, contributors advance the study of
Arendt into neglected areas, such as on science and ecology, to
demonstrate her importance not just to debates in which she was
well known, but those touched off only after her death. Arendt's
approaches as well as her concrete claims about the political have
much to offer given the current ecological and refugee crises,
among others. In sum, then, the Companion provides a tool for
thinking with Arendt, but also for showing just where those
thinking with her can take her work today.
