She made original contributions in political thinking that still astound readers and critics alike. The subject of several films and numerous books, colloquia, and newspaper articles, Arendt remains a touchstone in innumerable debates about the use of violence in politics, the responsibility one has under dictatorships and totalitarianism, and how to combat the repetition of the horrors of the past. The Bloomsbury Companion to Arendt offers the definitive guide to her writings and ideas, her influences and commentators, as well as the reasons for her lasting significance, with 66 original essays taking up in accessible terms the myriad ways in which one can take up her work and her continuing importance. These essays, written by an international set of her best readers and commentators, provides a comprehensive coverage of her life and the contexts in which her wor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume explores many of the “thought trains” central to Arendt’s understanding of modernity.  Essays on dozens of topics invite readers to think about politics, birth, truth, and power in light of Arendt’s profound reflections on those topics. While Arendt found “truth” elusive,  she thought we were obliged to “think about what we are doing”, the authors of these essays help us to shoulder that task. * Johanna Meehan, McCay-Casady Professor of Humanities, Grinnell College, USA *\u003cbr\u003eDiverse, accessible, and highly impressive in its scope, this compelling volume will doubtless become essential reading both for established scholars of Arendt’s work and for new readers. Effectively showcasing the urgency and vitality of Arendt’s writings, it strikes the perfect balance between enriching current conversations and presenting new directions for Arendt scholarship. * Danielle Sands, Lecturer in Comparative Literature and Thought, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments Notes on contributors Editor’s Introduction\u003ci\u003e, Peter Gratton and Yasemin Sari\u003c\/i\u003e   \u003cb\u003ePart I: Sources, Influences, and Encounters\u003c\/b\u003e 1.
