Arguing against the standard interpretation of Hannah Arendt as an anti-modernist lover of the Greek polis, author Seyla Benhabib contends that Arendt's thought emerges out of a double legacy: German Existenz philosophy, particularly the thought of Martin Heidegger, and her experiences as a German-Jewess in the age of totalitarianism. This important volume reconsiders Arendt's theory of modernity, her concept of the public sphere, her distinction between the social and the political, her theory of totalitarianism, and her critique of the modern nation state, including her life long involvement with Jewish and Israeli politics.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54236362572120,"sku":"9780742521513","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780742521513_963bf441-ec54-48bf-94e6-aeeadf359b86.jpg?v=1769697032","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/reluctant-modernism-of-hannah-arendt","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
