The human condition -- The public and the private realm -- Labor -- Work -- Action -- The vita activa and the modern age.

Summary: "A work of striking originality, The Human Condition is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. 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 oiur actions - continue to confront us today. This new edition contains Margaret Canovan's 1998 introduction and a new forward by Danielle Allen. A classic in political and social theory, The Human Condition is a work that has proved both timeless and perpetually timely." -- Back cover.
