For many years Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) has been the object of
intense debate. After her bitter critiques of Zionism, which seemed
to nullify her early involvement with that movement, and her
extremely controversial "Eichmann in Jerusalem" (1963), Arendt
became virtually a taboo figure in Israeli and Jewish circles.
Challenging the "curse" of her own title, "Hannah Arendt in
Jerusalem" carries the scholarly investigation of this
much-discussed writer to the very place where her ideas have been
most conspicuously ignored. Sometimes sympathetically, sometimes
critically, these distinguished contributors reexamine crucial
aspects of Arendt's life and thought: her complex identity as a
German Jew; her commitment to and critique of Zionism and the state
of Israel; her works on "totalitarianism," Nazism, and the Eichmann
trial; her relationship to key twentieth-century intellectuals; her
intimate and tense connections to German culture; and her
reworkings of political thought and philosophy in the light of the
experience of the twentieth century.
