![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A classic in political and social theory, The Human Condition is a work that has proved both timeless and perpetually timely. In her study of the state of modern humanity, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of the actions of which it is capable. This new edition, published to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of its original publication, contains an improved and expanded index and a new introduction by noted Arendt scholar Margaret Canovan which incisively analyzes the book’s argument and examines its present relevance. Summary: A work of striking originality bursting with unexpected insights, The Human condition is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. 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. ![]() Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1958.Ī work of striking originality bursting with unexpected insights, The Human Condition is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. ![]()

However, as this paper describes, the embrace of Alexandra’s character by feminist theorists is equally problematic. Since her forgiveness does not stem from sentiments resulting from the dynamic between the four of them, her forgiveness is thus problematic and in need of explanation. Alexandra’s forgiveness of Frank is counterintuitive to the reader’s understanding of her attitude toward Frank, Emil and Marie. Cather offers clear textual proof that indicates Alexandra’s strong dislike for Frank, her love for Emil and her esteem for Marie. Yet, Alexandra’s reaction to Frank’s crime seems to oppose the established relationships within the text. Further, Alexandra expresses sympathy for Frank when she states: “I haven’t come here to blame you, Frank … I think they were more to blame than you” (190). At the end of Willa Cather’s 1913 frontier novel O Pioneers!, the heroine Alexandra Bergson forgives Frank Shabata for the double murder of her younger brother, Emil, and Frank’s wife, Marie. ![]() ![]() ![]() Taylor is a contributing writer at The New Yorker. ![]() She is also editor of How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective (Haymarket Books, 2012) which won the Lambda Literary Award for LGBQT nonfiction in 2018.
