Hannah Arendt and the History of Thought

Edited by Daniel Brennan and Marguerite La Caze - Contributions by Marieke Borren; Paul Dahlgren; Kimberley Maslin; Laura McMahon; Eric Stephane Pommier; Joel Rosenberg; Andrew Schaap; Liesbeth Schoonheim; Katarzyna Stokłosa; Maria Tamboukou and Matthew Wester

Hannah Arendt and the History of Thought, edited by Daniel Brennan and Marguerite La Caze, enrichens and deepens scholarship on Arendt’s relation to philosophical history and traditions. Some contributors analyze thinkers not often linked to Arendt, such as William Shakespeare, Hans Jonas, and Simone de Beauvoir. Other contributors treat themes that are pressing and crucial to understanding Arendt’s work, such as love in its many forms, ethnicity and race, disability, human rights, politics, and statelessness. The collection is anchored by chapters on Arendt’s interpretation of Kant and her relation to early German Romanticism and phenomenology, while other chapters explore new perspectives, such as Arendt and film, her philosophical connections with other women thinkers, and her influence on Eastern European thought and activism. The collection expands the frames of reference for research on Arendt—both in terms of using a broader range of texts like her Denktagebuch and in examining her ideas about judgment, feminism, and worldliness in this wider context.
