Hannah Arendt

Vita activa oder Vom tätigen Leben

Maxandre Chamarré

The Human Condition

Aku milih buku ini karena ngira bakal kaya The Social Animal, lagi kangen dan butuh topik psikologi, sosial sains, dan ilmu perilaku(?) manusia. Ternyata ga sama sekali, kecele sama judulnya. The Human Condition membahas filosofi sistem kerja, politik, dan perburuhan. Kalau The Social Animal membahas manusia sebagai individu, dan interaksinya dengan individu lain, The Human Condition membahas jati manusia sebagai populasi, dan interaksinya dengan kebutuhan. Not a familiar topic at all for me and my head's spinning most of the time trying to decode the complex ideas that Arendt churned without mercy here. I think I got some.. of the big ideas? But trying to follow her train of thought that connects each of those is exhausting. Walaupun begitu, aku juga buruh. Makin dibaca makin relate, banyak bagian yang jleb.

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. Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) was one of the leading social theorists in the United States. Her Lectures on Kant's Political Philosophy and Love and Saint Augustine are also published by the University of Chicago Press.

The past year has seen a resurgence of interest in the political thinker Hannah Arendt, “the theorist of beginnings,” whose work probes the logics underlying unexpected transformations—from totalitarianism to revolution. A work of striking originality, 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 sixtieth anniversary of its original publication, contains Margaret Canovan’s 1998 introduction and a new foreword by Danielle Allen. A classic in political and social theory, The Human Condition is a work that has proved both timeless and perpetually timely.
