Action and Appearance is a collection of essays that look into the
crucial and complex link between action and appearance in Hannah
Arendt’s political thought. Contributed by respected scholars; the
essays articulate around the following themes: the emergence of
political action when questioning the nature of law; subjectivity and
individuality; the relationship between ethics and politics; the nexus
of (co)appearance; thinking and truth; and Arendt’s writing as
action and appearance. For Arendt; action is a worldly; public
phenomenon that requires the presence of others to have any effect.
Therefore; to act is more than to decide as it is also to appear. Much
has been said about Arendt’s theory of action; but little attention
has been paid to her approach to appearance as is done in this volume.
Action and Appearance explores both Arendt’s familiar texts and
previously unpublished or recently rediscovered texts to challenge the
established readings of her work. Adding to established debates; it
will be a unique resource to anyone interested in Hannah Arendt;
political thought; political theory; and political philosophy.
