Hannah Arendt has been classified as a critical theorist, a phenomenologist, an anti-feminist, a feminist ally, a democratic theorist, a republican theorist, a Heidegerrian, and a nostalgic Hellenophile. This book responds to these perspectives in two ways. First, we recognize that one can legitimately derive all these positionings from one or another of her writings; second, we insist nevertheless and precisely because all these approaches play some role in her work that her readers ought to follow her own claim that she 'does not belong to any club'. Instead, we introduce her works as exercises in political thinking, treating her as a dialogue partner, whose judgments and opinions remain open for reflection and discussion.

Reviews for Hannah Arendt and Politics

Robaszkiewicz and Weinman provide an invaluable map through Arendt's political though, helping the reader to understand her relevance to contemporary debates. Both scholarly and accessible, this is an important work. --Timothy Secret, University of Winchester
