Hannah Arendt (1906–1975) was one of the most influential political philosophers of the twentieth century. Born into a German-Jewish family, she was forced to leave Germany in 1933 and lived in Paris for the next eight years, working for a number of Jewish refugee organisations. In 1941 she immigrated to the United States and soon became part of a lively intellectual circle in New York. She held a number of academic positions at various American universities until her death in 1975. She is best known for two works that had a major impact both within and outside the academic community. The first, The Origins of Totalitarianism, published in 1951, was a study of the Nazi and Stalinist regimes that generated a wide-ranging debate on the nature and historical antecedents of the totalitarian phenomenon. The second, The Human Condition, published in 1958, was an original philosophical study that investigated the fundamental categories of the vita activa (labor, work, action). In addition to these two important works, Arendt published a number of influential essays on topics such as the nature of revolution, freedom, authority, tradition and the modern age. At the time of her death in 1975, she had completed the first two volumes of her last major philosophical work, The Life of the Mind, which examined the three fundamental faculties of the vita contemplativa (thinking, willing, judging).
Generally regarded as the definitive work on totalitarianism, this book is an essential component of any study of twentieth-century political movements. 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. “With the Origins of Totalitarianism Hannah Arendt emerges as the most original and profound-therefore the most valuable-political theoretician of our times” (New Leader).

阿伦特说,写作《极权》此书最大的目的在于说明“极权主义政府与专制独裁、暴君体制之间的不同”,在于反思希特勒体制与斯大林体制的异同,在于讨论极权主义国家最引以为豪的“全面控制”的内涵。虽然阿伦特很少谈及我们这个国家,但有意思的是,无论在对前者的分析还是后者的...

评分 评分太長了,以後再讀
评分#断断续续地看了一个多月,终于把这本文字很小却很有分量的书啃了下来,汉娜•阿伦特从19世纪兴起的反犹太主义说起,到之后的帝国主义扩张,再到希特勒的纳粹德国和斯大林时代俄罗斯的极权主义,整本书让人震撼、不安又不得不思考,我最近需要看一点不那么沉重的书来缓一缓。
评分政治学/ 读到P177终于半途而废,还是应该先看中文版的垫底,以后再续读吧。
