The Human Condition by Hannah Arendt
In this text, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of the actions of which it is capable. The problems are identified as 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. This edition contains an expanded index and an introduction that analyzes the text's argument and its present relevance.Hannah Arendt was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1906, moved to Paris in 1933, and then to America after World War II broke out. From 1946 until 1948, she was the editorial director of Schocken Books. She was a professor at Berkeley, Princeton, the University of Chicago, and The New School for Social Research, among other places. In 1975, Arendt passed away.
