Reviews
'David Arndt's book is an excellent exposition of Arendt's political thought. Anyone interested in Arendt would benefit from the clear presentation and analysis of the main concepts and ideas Arendt thought through in her writings; the careful distinctions he offers between the meanings Arendt gave to these concepts and the more common understanding of them; and the useful theoretical and historical background by which Arndt contextualizes Arendt's contributions to political theory.' Shmuel Lederman, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
'... a valuable, systematic, and thorough reminder that Arendt's understanding of political action is not founded upon, grounded in, or derived from philosophical, ethical, or communicative norms.' Joseph D. O'Neil, The German Quarterly
