Hannah Arendt is one of the most famous political theorists of the
twentieth century, yet in the social sciences her work has rarely been
given the attention it deserves. This careful and comprehensive study
introduces Arendt to a wider audience.
Finn Bowring shows how Arendt's writings have engaged with and
influenced prominent figures in the sociological canon, and how her
ideas may shed light on some of the most pressing social and political
problems of today. He explores her critique of Marx, her relationship
to Weber, the influence of her work on Habermas and the parallels and
discrepancies between her and Foucault. This is a clearly written and
scholarly text which surveys the leading debates over Arendt's work,
including discussions of totalitarianism, the public sphere and the
nature of political responsibility.
This book will bring new perspectives to students and lecturers in
sociology and politics.
