Abstract

Volume 3 contains a series of short articles on Enlightenment and the Jewish question, the hidden tradition of the Jewish Pariahs, Zionism, Imperialism, the guilt question in Germany, but also Existentialism as well as essays on Franz Kafka and Stefan Zweig. A decisive issue in Arendt’s thought refers to the collapse of the Western tradition of political theory in the age of Totalitarianism. It is already in the essay on Imperialism that she emphasizes the genius of Hobbes, anticipating the nihilistic ideology of the bourgeoisie. Volume 6 is dedicated to Arendt’s reading of Karl Marx.
