Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) was an influential German political theorist and philosopher who came to the United States as a refugee from the Nazis in 1940. She held a number of academic positions at American universities including the University of California, Berkeley; Northwestern University; the University of Chicago; and Princeton University, where she was the first woman appointed to a full professorship. Her works, which deal with issues of power, authority, revolution, thought, and judgment, include The Origins of Totalitarianism, The Human Condition, Eichmann in Jerusalem, Between Past and Future, and the incomplete and posthumously published The Life of the Mind. Wanda McCaddon began recording books for the fledgling audiobook industry in the early 1980s and has since narrated well over six hundred titles for major audio publishers, as well as abridging, narrating, and coproducing classic titles for her own company, Big Ben. Audiobook listeners may be familiar with her voice under one of her two "nom de mikes," Donada Peters and Nadia May. The recipient of an Audie nomination and more than twenty-five Earphones Awards, AudioFile magazine has named her one of recording's Golden Voices. Wanda also appears regularly on the professional stage in the San Francisco Bay Area.
A work of striking originality bursting with unexpected insights, The Human Condition is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. In her study of the state of modern humanity, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of the actions of which it is capable. The problems Arendt identified then—diminishing human agency and political freedom, the paradox that as human powers increase through technological and humanistic inquiry, we are less equipped to control the consequences of our actions—continue to confront us today. This new edition, published to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of its original publication, contains an improved and expanded index and a new introduction by noted Arendt scholar Margaret Canovan which incisively analyzes the book's argument and examines its present relevance. A classic in political and social theory, The Human Condition is a work that has proved both timeless and perpetually timely.

评分阿伦特无疑是西方最伟大、最具洞察力的思想家之一。在《人的境况》中她讨论了现代社会的兴起以及与之相伴而生的共同世界的终结和大众的孤独。 阿伦特提出了一个重要的哲学概念“实在性”。“实在性”是由公共世界来保障的,公共世界是一个所有人共同的聚会场所,每个出场的人...
评分在谈行动(action)之前,让我们先从解脱(releasing)这个概念谈起。 阿伦特的学生,《阿伦特为什么重要》的作者杨-布鲁尔在谈宽恕时,引援了《伊利亚特》结尾的片段。在阿喀琉斯杀死赫克托耳,并且侮辱了特洛伊英雄的尸体。当晚,特洛伊王普里阿摩斯潜入希腊联军的营帐,祈求...
评分 评分从去年进入社会开始工作以来,很多概念开始变的模糊,很多行动似乎没有意义。一开始很不适应,那段时间我总结为阶段性的波动“get stuck”,包括后来稍稍的改变之后,事情走上了我想要去的方向后,这种无意义徒劳感仍然没有改变。我劳作,仅仅作为一种对劳动契约的尊重与兑现,...
垃圾译本逼着读原文。
评分会写的人怎么都会写。
评分会写的人怎么都会写。
评分比中译本好读多了,可我还是不明白阿伦特这本所谓的哲学原典究竟好在哪里。此书充斥着主观判断,不连贯的逻辑和片断式的思维,看似精准的描述包装的却是极为常识性的观点,似乎阿伦特的世界观有点后现代的味道,但她的思想,只能说是支离破碎的遐思,并无独到的创见。
