	Hannah Arendt (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Hannah Arendt, one of the leading political thinkers of the twentieth century, was born in 1906 in Hanover and died in New York in 1975.
		Hannah Arendt was one of the seminal political thinkers of the twentieth century.
		Arendt's concern with judgment as the faculty of retrospective assessment that allows meaning to be redeemed from the past originated in her attempt to come to terms with the twin political tragedies of the twentieth century, Nazism and Stalinism.

	Hannah Arendt [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Hannah Arendt is a most challenging figure for anyone wishing to understand the body of her work in political philosophy.
		Arendt argues that it is precisely the recognition of labor as contrary to freedom, and thus to what is distinctively human, which underlay the institution of slavery amongst the ancient Greeks; it was the attempt to exclude labor from the conditions of human life.
		Arendt's concern with thinking and judgement as political faculties stretches back to her earliest works, and were addressed subsequently in a number of essays written during the 1950s and 1960s.

	March 2001 - Library of Congress Information Bulletin
		Arendt believed that the right to citizenship, the right of a plurality of people "to act together concerning things that are of equal concern to each," is not only denied by totalitarianism, as it is by every despotism, but stands opposed to the principle that guides the acts of destruction that characterize totalitarian systems.
		Arendt saw the present as a "gap between past and future" in which every individual's active recollection and deliberately selective retrieval of the "no longer" fosters responsibility for the "not yet." While the ability to respond to the past does not determine the future, it does throw light on it.
		Arendt wrote most of the book while still in Germany (the first draft was completed in 1933) and completed it during the Paris years at the urging of Walter Benjamin and Heinrich Blücher -- "rather grumpily," presumably because its subject had become "remote" to her.

	Hannah Arendt
		Arendt had troubles in adjusting herself to her stepfather and two stepsisters; at sixteen she was already intellectually far ahead of her friends of the same age.
		Arendt was arrested, interrogated, and as soon as she was released from jail, she fled to Paris with her husband.
		One of Arendt's central themes throughout her studies on political theory was the separation of political life (the public realm) from social and economical life (the private realm).

	20th WCP: Eichmann, the Banality of Evil, and Thinking in Arendt's Thought
		Arendt's perception that Eichmann seemed to be a common man, evidenced in his transparent superficiality and mediocrity left her astonished in measuring the unaccounted evil committed by him, that is, organizing the deportation of millions of Jews to the concentration camps.
		Arendt says: "When confronted with situations for which such routine procedures did not exist, he [Eichmann] was helpless, and his cliché-ridden language produced on the stand, as it had evidently done in his official life, a kind of macabre comedy.
		Arendt is trying to avoid adherence by men to any moral, social, or legal established standards without exciting their capacity of reflect, of thinking, based on an internal dialogue with themselves about the meaning of such happenings.

	The Hannah Arendt Papers: The World of Hannah Arendt - Part 1
		To enter the world of Hannah Arendt is to encounter the political and moral catastrophes of the twentieth century.
		One result of this current interest in Arendt is that, because of constant handling, important components of the literary estate that she bequeathed to the Library of Congress have become fragile and almost illegible.
		The earliest of Arendt's writings in the collection dates from 1925 when she was nineteen, and the latest from 1975, the year she died; by far the greater part of them comes from the period after her emigration to the United States in 1941 as World War II raged in Europe.

	Hannah Arendt
		Hannah Arendt by Julia Kristeva, translated by Ross Guberman (European Perspectives: A Series in Social Thought and Cultural Criticism: Columbia University Press) Twenty-five years after her death, we are still coming to terms with the controversial figure of Hannah Arendt.
		Criticizing Arendt's flawed concept but insisting on the urgent reality of the problem that the concept of the social was intended to address, Pitkin honors Arendt's achievements by continuing her enterprise.
		One of the gossipy curiosities of 20th-century philosophy is that Hannah Arendt, the German-born Jewish philosopher remembered for her fierce and unforgiving attacks on totalitarianism, had a youthful fling in the 1920s with Martin Heidegger.

	Hannah Arendt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In her monumental Origins of Totalitarianism (1951), Arendt related the development of totalitarianism to 19th-century anti-Semitism and imperialism and saw its growth as the outcome of the disintegration of the traditional nation-state.
		In the current stoking of the Hannah Arendt industry, in which every scrap from her wastebasket is being blown into print, the latest installment, "Within Four Walls: The Correspondence Between Hannah Arendt and Heinrich Blucher, 1936-1968," has barely raised a spark.
		Says Arendt, simply, "for God sake, you are my four walls." After the eloquent sexual display of their early courtship letters, in which philosophy, romance and confession mingle like kisses, Arendt and Blucher yield to the inevitable marital shorthand, peppered with acquaintances and minor figures of the time.

	Snowblind: Martin Heidegger & Hannah Arendt by Berel Lang (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Arendt evidently “let him” (she “did not need coaxing,” Ettinger claims to know)— and Ettinger places the “beginning of physical intimacy” at the end of February 1925.
		Arendt’s willingness to subordinate herself to Heidegger did not seem to diminish as her own success and prominence increased, matched step for step by his resentment.
		(Arendt’s history, however complex and contentious, has not been similarly affected.) This criticism is not directed at Ettinger’s failure to “solve” the Heidegger-question or to explain Arendt’s postwar reconciliation with Heidegger or to show what consequences their relationship had, early or late, on their respective thinking.

		Arendt was one of the first to recognize that Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were two sides of the same coin rather than opposing philosophies of Right and Left.
		Hannah Arendt's _The Origins of Totalitarianism_ is a book that takes a hard look at two rival totalitarian movements in the twentieth century, Soviet Communism and Nazism, and traces their historical roots.
		Arendt explores the rise of Antisemitism in the birth of the nation-state, the emancipation of the Jews, the rise of the Jewish financiers, the roles of Jews within society, and the infamous Dreyfus affair.

		Arendt was prompted to clarify her intentions in a postscript to the book, claiming in its final sentence, "The present report deals with nothing but the extent to which the court in Jerusalem succeeded in fulfilling the demands of justice" (p.
		Arendt writes, "Justice demands that the accused be prosecuted, defended, and judged, and that all the other questions of seemingly greater import...be left in abeyance" (p.
		As far as Arendt can determine, only once did Eichmann act in a way that could perhaps be construed as resistance, when he decided to send a transport of Jews and Gypsies to the ghetto of Lódz instead of to Russian territory, where they would have been immediately shot.

	"Hannah Arendt, 100 Years Later - Forward.com"
		Arendt, who was born in Hannover, Germany, in 1906 and died in New York in 1975, seldom shied away from engaging — or igniting — political controversy.
		Yet, Arendt’s most enduring legacy — and the one most relevant to today’s debates — is her 1951 book “The Origins of Totalitarianism,” where her genius in conceptualizing the unfamiliar burns brightest.
		Hence Arendt’s lofty regard for the wisdom of the American Revolution — and her fear that contemporary Americans are in danger of forgetting it.

		Arendt, meanwhile, fled the country; she would spend the next eight years in France before escaping to New York in 1941.
		Arendt's submissiveness is what allowed the relationship to continue, but it is very damaging to the correspondence as an intellectual document.
		Arendt never takes Heidegger to task for his long, deliberate silence about Nazism and the Holocaust, and she never even conceives of interrogating his thought for the sources of his politics.

		Because cyberspace seems to defiantly wriggle itself out of traditional theoretical boxes which have been staples of communications research (including sociology, critical theory and political economy), a new model of analysis is needed to capture the essence of the issues rising from this technology.
		Hannah Arendt's paradigm of the ideal types of the public and private spheres offers a helpful framework to understand the central debates surrounding cyberspace.
		Using Hannah Arendt's typology, I posit that cyberspace is currently neither public nor private -- it is a social phenomenon which muddles the classic distinction between the public and private realms.

		Julia Kristeva's Hannah Arendt brings together two of the best minds in 20th-century philosophy; two who are especially noteworthy because they are visionary women in a field long dominated by men.
		Arendt is certainly one of the 20th century's brightest intellectual luminaries.
		Theorist, critic and psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva, who for many years has been professor of linguistics at the University of Paris, finds Hannah Arendt "gripped from the start by that unique passion in which life and thought are one," and traces both threads rigorously and with strong interpretive opinions.

		The journey is well worth it, though, as Hannah Arendt shows the incredibly destructive nature of all that makes one human under a totalitarian rule.
		Miss Arendt makes a frightening assessment that the liquidation (mass murder of people of race or class) was not so much personal vendetta as these mass murders were bureaucratic operations that were done as a matter of political policy and "normal" bureaucratic operations.
		Miss Arendt is clear that totalitarian leaders do not recognize talent except as talented individuals may threaten their arrogant self importance.
