The Human Condition is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. A classic in political and social theory, The Human Condition is a work that has proved both timeless and perpetually timely. The Human Condition by Hannah Arendt, 1998, University of Chicago Press edition, Paperback in English - 2nd ed. by Hannah Arendt, introduction by Margaret Canovan. This new edition, published to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of its original publication, contains an improved and expanded index and a new introduction by noted Arendt scholar Margaret Canovan which incisively analyzes the book's argument and examines its present relevance. 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. In her study of the state of modern humanity, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of the actions of which it is capable.
