Hannah Arendt and the Limits of Philosophy: With a New Preface (Cornell Paperbacks)

By Lisa Disch

Book Overview

In this fresh interpretation of the political writings of Hannah Arendt, Disch focuses on a question that remains central to today's debates in political philosophy and feminist theory: the relationship of experience to critical understanding. Discussing a range of Arendt's work including unpublished writings, Disch explores the function of storytelling as a form of critical theory beyond the limits of philosophy.
