"The Human Condition" by Hannah Arendt

Itaewon Book Club is back in business! Everyone who enjoys great world literature is welcome!

A work of striking originality bursting with unexpected insights, The Human Condition is a 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.

"The combination of tremoundous intellectual power with great common sense makes her insights into history and politics seem both amazing and obvious"
-New Yorker

"Her most important philosophical work"
-New Republic

"A great work of the mind and the imagination...She has done even more to prise open our oyester minds than she did in the 'The Origin of Totalitarianism'."
-The Guardian
