OverviewHannah Arendt s most important contribution to political thought may be her well-known and often-cited notion of the right to have rights. In this incisive and wide-ranging book, Peg Birmingham explores the theoretical and social foundations of Arendt s philosophy on human rights. Devoting special consideration to questions and issues surrounding Arendt s ideas of common humanity, human responsibility, and natality, Birmingham formulates a more complex view of how these basic concepts support Arendt s theory of human rights. Birmingham considers Arendt s key philosophical works along with her literary writings, especially those on Walter Benjamin and Franz Kafka, to reveal the extent of Arendt s commitment to humanity even as violence, horror, and pessimism overtook Europe during World War II and its aftermath. This current and lively book makes a significant contribution to philosophy, political science, and European intellectual history.
