The essays selected for this volume demonstrate the importance of
law - conceptually, normatively and practically - to a proper
understanding of Hannah Arendt's work. Though Arendt herself was
not a lawyer, and lacked any legal training, it is remarkable that
in each of her guises law plays an often subtle, at times
idiosyncratic, but unavoidably vital role. For example, as a
journalist, confronting the evil of Adolf Eichmann; or as an
essayist, engaged with emerging democracies in the East or their
unravelling in the West; or as a political thinker concerned to
celebrate and secure the conditions for political action; or as a
philosopher, reflecting on man's capacity for judgement. Although
Arendt herself never wrote systematically about law her rich
insights in this field have been studied closely by scholars and
this collection marks the first attempt to gather that work, and to
understand it thematically. In so doing, the editors seek to open a
dual dialogue: inviting Arendt scholars to uncover what Arendt had
to say about law, and legal scholars to evaluate her contribution
to the field of law.
