  2. Let's move on to the last book. This is a biography called Hannah Arendt: For Love of the World. Even though I'm writing a biography of Hannah Arendt myself, I wanted to include the major intellectual biography of her on the list. It was published in 1982 and remains the go-to Arendt biography. It's quite long. Elizabeth Young-Bruehl knew ...

    • Between Past and Future

      This is my favourite book by far, and is a compilation of essays. Hannah Arendt argues that education is affected by the difficulties society encounters in trying to strike a balance between the traditions of the past and the needs of the future. In education you continually come across the argument that the old is bad; we have an obsession with novelty.

    • Critical Lives: Hannah Arendt

      "This book is brilliant. It's written by Samantha Rose Hill, who must know as much as anyone about Hannah Arendt. She's dived into Arendt's surviving papers, notebooks, and even poetry, spending many hours in the archive. And what's so great about this as a biography is that Hill has done something that biographers rarely do—she's ...

  5. "Can a book about a towering philosopher ever be described as 'zippy'? That's the word that keeps coming back to me when I think about Lyndsey Stonebridge's compellingly readable book on Hannah Arendt's life and work. With antisemitism and totalitarianism on the rise in 2024, Arendt's lucid thinking is as relevant as ever.
  6. "It is an edited volume, which I think is a great introductory overview to Hannah Arendt's work. It is full of interviews that give you a sense of her as a person, conversations where she's teasing out what she meant by 'the banality of evil'—most readers of Arendt are familiar with that phrase, even if they haven't read Eichmann."Read more...
