BetweenPastandFuture

Hannah Arendt, author of Eichmann in Jerusalem and The Origins of Totalitarianism, presents a thought-provoking book for navigating the political impasses and cultural confusions of today's world (Harpers Magazine).

In Between Past and Future, Arendt offers insightful observations on modern society's crises, resulting from the loss of meaning in traditional key words of politics such as justice, reason, responsibility, virtue, and glory. Through eight exercises, she presents ways to redistill the essence of these concepts and use them as a framework for the future. Participating in these exercises means engaging with one of the most productive and brilliant thinkers of the twentieth century.
