Page dimensions: 229 x 151mm. "The past year has seen a resurgence of interest in the political thinker Hannah Arendt, "the theorist of beginnings," whose work probes the logics underlying unexpected transformations-from totalitarianism to revolution.A work of striking originality, 'The Human Condition' is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. 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.".

Softcover. Condition: New. 1a.ed., 6a. reimpr. en esta colección. 235x155 mm. Colección Contemporánea, Serie Humanidades / Colección Austral, N.° 996. 368 p. Rústica con solapas. Sprache: Spanisch, NUEVO / NEU / NEW. A la vez análisis histórico y propuesta política de amplio alcance filosófico, La condición humana no sólo es la clave de todas las obras de Hannah Arendt, sino también un texto básico para comprender hacia dónde se dirige la contemporaneidad. El presente libro es un penetrante estudio sobre el estado de la humanidad en el mundo contemporáneo, contemplada desde el punto de vista de las acciones de que es capaz. Propone una consideración de la condición humana desde el ventajoso punto de vista de nuestros más recientes temores y experiencias. De ahí que lo que plantea sea muy sencillo: nada más que pensar en lo que hacemos. El ensayo dibuja una concepción del hombre rigurosamente incompatible con los totalitarismos, y que a su vez permite sentar las bases para una nueva idea de la historia en la que depende de los propios hombres que ésta aparezca como una contingencia desoladora, es decir, que en cualquier momento podemos regresar a la barbarie.

Softcover. Condition: New. 1a.ed. en esta colección. 235x155 mm. Colección Paidós Básica. 368 p. Rústica con solapas. Sprache: Spanisch, NUEVO / NEU / NEW. Un texto imprescindible para comprender hacia dónde se dirige la contemporaneidad. En este estudio de la humanidad moderna, Hannah Arendt reflexiona sobre la dimensión activa de los seres humanos, es decir, sobre su capacidad de intervenir en el mundo por medio del trabajo, la obra y la acción. Arendt analiza tanto las capacidades humanas cuya finalidad básica es atender a las necesidades de la vida como la sublimación de estas en otra más trascendental, la capacidad de ser libres, para considerar nuestra condición a través de nuestros más recientes temores y experiencias. Arendt ofrece un lúcido y riguroso recorrido por la historia de las ideas políticas, por las revoluciones que han marcado cada época, para desmontar todas nuestras certezas. Los problemas que Arendt identificó en su momento la disminución de la agencia humana y de la libertad política, la explotación, nuestra falta de responsabilidad a la hora de asumir las consecuencias de nuestras acciones, la sociedad de consumo y la cultura de masas siguen vigentes hoy en día. Una obra de sorprendente originalidad y repleta de inesperadas ideas, La condición humana es, en muchos aspectos, más relevante hoy que en el momento de su primera publicación.

The Human Condition, first published in 1958, is Hannah Arendt's account of how "human activities" should be and have been understood throughout Western history. Arendt is interested in the vita activa (active life) as contrasted with the vita contemplative (contemplative life) and concerned that the debate over the relative status of the two has blinded us to important insights about the vita activa and the way in which it has changed since ancient times. She distinguishes three sorts of activity (labor, work, and action) and discusses how they have been affected by changes in Western history (Wikipedia).
