Om mig

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) was a philosopher and political theorist in the mid-20th century. Born to secular Jewish parents in Hannover, Germany, she fled to Paris in 1933 and moved to New York in 1941 (she returned to Germany briefly after World War II). Arendt's writing addressed key aspects of modern political and social life as well as the historical roots of the Western tradition. She taught in various capacities at a number of U.S. institutions, including Princeton, Chicago, Berkeley, and the New School. For her biography, see Hannah Arendt: For Love of the World, by Elisabeth Young-Bruehl. For her correspondence with Mary McCarthy, see Between Friends.

Arendt's major books include Eichmann in Jerusalem, The Origins of Totalitarianism, On Revolution, The Human Condition, and The Life of the Mind. Reviews of her thought are available at the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy and at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
