Description: From the author of Eichmann in Jerusalem and The Origins of Totalitarianism a book to think with through the political impasses and cultural confusions of our day (Harper's Magazine) Hannah Arendt's insightful observations of the modern world based on a profound knowledge of the past constitute an impassioned contribution to political philosophy. In Between Past and Future Arendt describes the perplexing crises modern society faces as a result of the loss of meaning of the traditional key words of politics: justice reason responsibility virtue and glory. Through a series of eight exercises she shows how we can redistill the vital essence of these concepts and use them to regain a frame of reference for the future. To participate in these exercises is to associate in action with one of the most original and fruitful minds of the twentieth century.
