Books by Hannah Arendt

Hannah Arendt (1906–1975) was a German-American political philosopher and one of the most important political thinkers of the twentieth century. She fled Nazi Germany in 1933, was briefly interned in a French camp, and eventually settled in the United States. Her other major works include The Human Condition, Eichmann in Jerusalem, and On Revolution. She taught at the New School for Social Research and the University of Chicago. Her concepts of "banality of evil" and totalitarianism remain central to political philosophy and historical analysis.
