The main argument of the book is that the council system, or more broadly the vision of participatory democracy was far more important to Arendt than is commonly understood. Seeking to demonstrate the close links between the council system Arendt advocated and other major themes in her work, the book focuses particularly on her critique of the nation-state and her call for a new international order in which human dignity and “the right to have rights” will be guaranteed; her conception of “the political” and the conditions that can make this experience possible; the relationship between philosophy and politics; and the challenge of political judgement in the modern world. .Political philosophyPolitical scienceSocial sciences—PhilosophyPolitical Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E37000Philosophy of Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E27000Social Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E43000Political philosophy.Political science.Social sciences—Philosophy.Political Philosophy.Philosophy of Law.Social Philosophy.320.5092320.5092Lederman Shmuelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut961517BOOK9910337692303321Hannah Arendt and Participatory Democracy2179897UNINA
