"A brilliantly erudite and imaginative book."
--Adam Kirsch, The New York Sun
"By insisting that politics remain a promise rather than a
threat, Arendt offers a hope that history has yet to justify."
-The New York Sun "Arendt demonstrated, brilliantly, how our
habitual view of politics as an instrument in the service of
private liberty, material gain, and social prosperity actually
increases the dangers posed by the modern world."
-Dana R. Villa, author of Arendt and Heidegger and Socratic
Citizenship
