Hannah Arendt and the Jewish Question
by Richard J. Bernstein

Hannah Arendt and the Jewish Question Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Arendt's analysis of the Jews' lack of preparation for the vicious political antiSemitism that arose in the last decade of the nineteenth century, Bernstein argues, led her on a quest for the ultimate meaning of politics and political responsibility. Moreover, he points out that Arendt's deepest insights about politics emerged from her reflections on statelessness and totalitarian domination. Bernstein also examines Arendt's attraction to and break with Zionism, and the reasons for her critical stance toward a Jewish sovereign state. He then turns to the issue that, in Arendt's opinion, needed most to be confronted in the aftermath of World War II: the fundamental nature of evil. He traces the nuances of her thinking from "radical evil" to "the banality of evil" and, finally, reexamines "Eichmann in Jerusalem," her meditation on evil that caused a storm of protest and led some to question her loyalty to the Jewish people.
