Description
The Human Condition, second edition, is a work of striking originality that probes the logics underlying unexpected transformations in modern society. Published in 1958, this study of the state of modern humanity remains remarkably relevant today.
In it, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of the actions of which it is capable, highlighting the problems that continue to confront us, including diminishing human agency and political freedom. This new edition, published to coincide with the sixtieth anniversary of its original publication, features a new foreword by Danielle Allen and an introduction by Margaret Canovan.
A work that has proved both timeless and perpetually timely, The Human Condition is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition that will appeal to those interested in political and social theory.
