This collection provides readings and re-readings of significant aspects of Hannah Arendt's work, suggesting that, 20 years after her death, we can better afford to listen to her. Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) was one of the most important political philosophers of the 20th century. Two decades after her death, this collection of 15 essays brings her work into dialogue with those philosophical views that are at centre stage today in critical theory, communitarianism, virtue theory, and feminism. An extensive bibliography of work on Arendt in English is included as an appendix.
