Hannah Arendt Center
Hannah Arendt, widely acknowledged today as one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century, taught at The New School as University Professor from 1967 until her death in 1975. In the fall of 2006, events will be held in Europe and America to mark the centenary of Arendt's birth. Major international conferences, as well as diverse events and exhibitions, are planned for Germany (where she was born), France (where she lived in exile), and the United States (where she settled and became a citizen in 1951), and educational and cultural institutions in Berlin, Paris, Rome, and New York, among other cities, will be celebrating her extraordinary life and career. A full schedule of these events will be available at the Hannah Arendt Center in January 2006. The Hannah Arendt Center was established at The New School in the spring of 2000. The center is dedicated to preserving Arendt's legacy and fostering the kind of participation in public life she exemplified. Digitization of the vast and unique collection of papers Arendt bequeathed to the Library of Congress has been made possible by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The New School's Fogelman Library is one of only three sites worldwide to provide online access to the entire archive.

LA FILOSOFIA E I SUOI EROI HANNAH ARENDT A cura di Diego Fusaro
I lager sono i laboratori dove si sperimenta la trasformazione della natura umana[...]. Finora la convinzione che tutto sia possibile sembra aver provato soltanto che tutto può essere distrutto. Ma nel loro sforzo di tradurla in pratica, i regimi totalitari hanno scoperto, senza saperlo, che ci sono crimini che gli uomini non possono né punire né perdonare. Quando l'impossibile è stato reso possibile, è diventato il male assoluto, impunibile e imperdonabile, che non poteva più essere compreso e spiegato coi malvagi motivi dell'interesse egoistico, dell'avidità, dell'invidia, del risentimento; e che quindi la collera non poteva vendicare, la carità sopportare, l'amicizia perdonare, la legge punire.

  • Hannah Arendt, a political philosopher, specialized in analyzing the rise of totalitarianism, with special attention to Nazi Germany. Selected Hannah Arendt Quotations • Action without a name, a "who" attached to it, is meaningless. • The right to marry whoever one wishes is an elementary human right compared to which "the right to attend an integrated school, the right to sit where one pleases on a bus, the right to go into any hotel or recreation area or place of amusement, regardless of one's skin or color or race" are minor indeed. Even political rights, like the right to vote, and nearly all other rights enumerated in the Constitution, are secondary to the inalienable human rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence; and to this category the right to home and marriage unquestionably belongs.

    Hannah Arendt on the Concept of Power KEY TERMS: sovereignty violence power force strength authority Max Weber Karl Jaspers revolution means-end continuity secularism totalitarianism existentialism phenomenology race-thinking romanticism imperialism the "internal enemy" holism the permanent outsider My first and only personal encounter with Hannah Arendt was when she came to speak to the students at Yale University in 1968 while I was studying sociology there. As always, she was questioning the conventional wisdom of the times. At that time at the height of the Vietnam War crisis she stood solidly with the student protesters. Nevertheless, during that visit she sounded a warning against the popular obsession with unlimited "sovereignty" of either the individual or the collective, and with violence as a favored vehicle for both entities in their pursuit of social change. She let us know how much she deplored the glorification of violence by many students, and their glib talk from privileged and protected enclaves in the Western world of the "necessity" for violent revolution. For this she blamed what she saw as the malevolent influence of Jean-Paul Sartre and Franz Fanon. She felt (rightly, I now believe) that these writers and other significant opinion setters among the young were then sowing the seeds for which the whole world would one day reap the whirlwind. I was inspired by that message to read her publications, and inspired even more as I read them. I came to the conclusion that Hannah Arendt's great contribution to social science was her clarification of key concepts most particularly, her insights into the nature of power in human relations. Too often this contribution has been overlooked by sociologists. This is not surprising, for the

    Hannah Arendt caused a stir in 1961 with her reportage about the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem. Her book Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil breaks with the notion that evil is the result of some demonically driven will-power. Eichmann appears simply as a bureaucrat who served as a cog in the machinery of extermination. There is a plaque in the Linden section of Hanover on the house at number 2 Am Marktplatz which reads as follows: The German-Jewish historian and political philosopher Hannah Arendt was born here on October 14, 1906. She fled National Socialism and left Germany in 1933. Her scholarly work is devoted to the study of the origins of totalitarianism and anti-semitism. She died on December 4, 1975 in New York.

    576 pp. $34.95.
    Review by Rita Goldberg
    Featured in BBR April 1995 This collection of letters reads like an enthralling novel. The correspondents, Hannah Arendt and Mary McCarthy, were two of the most important American intellectuals of their generation. They were politically engaged, socially active, powerful, gossipy women who became increasingly close during the decades after WWII. A parade of writers and editors passes through their letters: W.H. Auden, Robert Lowell, Saul Bellow, Elizabeth Bishop, the cliques from the Partisan Review and the New York Review of Books, the right-wing rebels of Commentary. The two friends discuss the Cold War, McCarthyism, Vietnam, Kennedy liberalism, the student riots of the '60s. When one friend finds herself in hot water, the other flies to her aid. Arendt and McCarthy had no qualms about expressing themselves honestly, even obnoxiously. They were just old enough to rely on letters in a way almost obsolete in the age of the telephone, so plenty of opinions make their way onto these pages. McCarthy was the more frequent correspondent. Arendt's letters don't give much away, and contain homey Germanisms characteristic of the postwar refugee community of Manhattan's Upper West Side-"ends and odds," "take or give a few days," "Thanks God." McCarthy was more confessional and more fun, treating her friend to a Clarissa-like, blow-by-blow account of the love affair that became her fourth and last marriage.

She became a United States citizen in 1951, later working as a professor and lecturer at schools like the University of California at Berkeley, Princeton University, and the University of Chicago. Her multivolume work Origins of Totalitarianism explored the connection between political fascism and political anti-semitism in European history. Later works by Arendt expressed profound disappointment that philosophy was not better able to influence humanity to do good. In the preface to this work, she herself defined her ambition as:

    The Incoherence of Hannah Arendt Breaking the marriage between heaven and earth. Eugene McCarraher March 1, 2006 O n a sunny March morning in 1962, a taxi bearing Hannah Arendt collided with a truck as it sped across Central Park. Awakening in the ambulance, Arendt moved her limbs, rolled her eyes, and tested her memory by recalling decades, stanzas of poetry, and telephone numbers. As she later described the episode to her close friend Mary McCarthy, "for a fleeting moment I had the feeling that it was up to me whether I wanted to live or die." While she "did not think that death was terrible," she also thought that "life was quite beautiful and that I rather like it." This rich and intelligent "love of the world," as Elisabeth Young-Bruehl characterizes Arendt's intellectual career, could hardly be more urgently needed or imperiled than it is in this very year, her centenary. It's a perverse and benighted time when worldliness is the stock-in-trade of bilious bon vivants like Christopher Hitchens. The last exponent of Arendt's kind of worldliness ...

Ihre Studien sind 1933 in wesentlichen Teilen beendet, erscheinen aber erst 1959 unter dem Titel "Rahel Varnhagen. Lebensgeschichte einer deutschen Jüdin aus der Romantik". In dieser für sie selbst wichtigen Auseinandersetzung mit den Bedingungen der gesellschaftlichen Assimilation von Juden versucht sie erstmals, das jüdische Dasein existenzphilosophisch zu erfassen.
