Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) was an influential German political theorist and philosopher who came to the United States as a refugee from the Nazis in 1940. She held a number of academic positions at American universities including the University of California, Berkeley; Northwestern University; the University of Chicago; and Princeton University, where she was the first woman appointed to a full professorship. Her works, which deal with issues of power, authority, revolution, thought, and judgment, include The Origins of Totalitarianism, The Human Condition, Eichmann in Jerusalem, Between Past and Future, and the incomplete and posthumously published The Life of the Mind. Wanda McCaddon began recording books for the fledgling audiobook industry in the early 1980s and has since narrated well over six hundred titles for major audio publishers, as well as abridging, narrating, and coproducing classic titles for her own company, Big Ben. Audiobook listeners may be familiar with her voice under one of her two "nom de mikes," Donada Peters and Nadia May. The recipient of an Audie nomination and more than twenty-five Earphones Awards, AudioFile magazine has named her one of recording's Golden Voices. Wanda also appears regularly on the professional stage in the San Francisco Bay Area.
A work of striking originality bursting with unexpected insights, The Human Condition is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. In her study of the state of modern humanity, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of the actions of which it is capable. The problems Arendt identified then—diminishing human agency and political freedom, the paradox that as human powers increase through technological and humanistic inquiry, we are less equipped to control the consequences of our actions—continue to confront us today. This new edition, published to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of its original publication, contains an improved and expanded index and a new introduction by noted Arendt scholar Margaret Canovan which incisively analyzes the book's argument and examines its present relevance. A classic in political and social theory, The Human Condition is a work that has proved both timeless and perpetually timely.
从去年进入社会开始工作以来,很多概念开始变的模糊,很多行动似乎没有意义。一开始很不适应,那段时间我总结为阶段性的波动“get stuck”,包括后来稍稍的改变之后,事情走上了我想要去的方向后,这种无意义徒劳感仍然没有改变。我劳作,仅仅作为一种对劳动契约的尊重与兑现,...
评分在古雅典,公民们通过说服来解决问题,所有的公共事务的解决通过语言而说服。因而亚里士多德认为:“人是政治的存在”和“人是言说的存在”。在阿伦特看来,二者是相辅相成的,都涉及相同的希腊城邦生活经验;将人作为一种由于懂得相互对话的方法而得以共同生存的动物...
评分在读,读的还比较慢,暂时发一点。 在阿伦特的论述中,善在公共领域是不可能实现的,因为,善就其本身的非世界性决定了“善功一旦为人所知,变成公开的,就失去了它作为善的特征,失去了它仅仅为着善自身的性质。善一旦公开现显示,就不再是善的了,尽管还可以用于有组织...
评分看的很慢,也偶有心得。 汉娜阿伦特《人的境况》中提到工作和劳动的区别,这里的工作和劳动的含义和平常所理解的不一样,阿伦特在书中说到“一切劳动的特点正是留不下任何东西,它辛苦劳动的产物几乎在劳动的同时就被迅即消耗掉了。这种辛劳虽然徒劳,却来自一种强大的紧迫性...

评分隔了这么久,阿伦特的政治思想无论是对于我们洞察历史,还是琢磨当下,都有着非凡的帮助意义。如这本书的题目所言,她问的是,“人,何以为人?”。这是一个听上去简单却难以回答的问题,因为阿伦特想要知道为何追捧纳粹的就是普通人。为何普通人没有成为马克思所言的自觉无产者,反而成了暴民?人,在什么社会条件下,可以获得自己的尊严,而不要等着别人给你尊严。结果,阿伦特研究了奴隶制,希腊,中世纪,以及现代国家里人的状态。提出要具有一种积极的参政人生——做citizen,而不是slave。Frampton在他的集子里,就把建筑当成他实现自己做citizen理想的通道。把那本书定名为《劳动、工作、建筑》。源头在此书。
