基本説明

Examines the indisputable philosophical dimensions of Arendt's work, and identifies its fundamental philosophical import, namely the presence of an ontological reaction, well before its time in its criticism of the common western philosophical mistake of ontological solipsism.

Full Description

This book argues that Arendt's place in the history of western philosophy has been overlooked and that recognition of her contribution is long overdue. This is due in part to Arendt's own insistence on calling herself a 'political thinker', but also to a common tendency in philosophy to denigrate the political. Hull examines the indisputable philosophical dimensions of her work, and identifies its fundamental philosophical import, namely the presence of an ontological reaction, well before its time in its criticism of the common western philosophical mistake of ontological solipsism. The book maintains that Arendt's own personal dealings with aspects of her identity, namely her Jewishness and her womanhood, work to inform us of this position and sheds favourable new light on these dimensions.
