À propos de cet audio

The past year has seen a resurgence of interest in the political thinker Hannah Arendt, "the theorist of beginnings", whose work probes the logics underlying unexpected transformations - from totalitarianism to revolution.

A work of striking originality, The Human Condition is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. In her study of the state of modern humanity, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of the actions of which it is capable. The problems Arendt identified then - diminishing human agency and political freedom, the paradox that as human powers increase through technological and humanistic inquiry, we are less equipped to control the consequences of our actions - continue to confront us today. This new edition, published to coincide with the 60th anniversary of its original publication, contains Margaret Canovan's 1998 introduction and a new foreword by Danielle Allen.

A classic in political and social theory, The Human Condition is a work that has proved both timeless and perpetually timely.

Great book ruined by terrible natration. Before the first few paragraphs were complete I knew this would be a challenge. The narrator forgot they were reading a book of philosophy and read it like a drama. Awkward inflection, run on reading making sentence structure difficult to parse, overly dramatic emphasis at inappropriate points in a passage. I thought I would get used to the weird style but right to the end it was distracring. Luckily the power of the writing was such that I was able to finish the book and still marvel at the intellect that created it! Hannah Arendt was a genius. This book is so deep that despite the painful narration I will listen again, and soon.

Deep thoughts done a disservice
