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. This new edition, published to coincide with the sixtieth anniversary of its original publication, contains Margaret Canovan's 1998 introduction and a new foreword by Danielle Allen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A classic in political and social theory, \u003ci\u003eThe Human Condition\u003c\/i\u003e is a work that has proved both timeless and perpetually timely. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHannah Arendt \u003c\/b\u003eis widely considered one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century.
