Description
In the first volume of her landmark philosophical work, The Origins of Totalitarianism, the political theorist traces the rise of antisemitism in Europe.
Since it was first published in 1951, The Origins of Totalitarianism has been recognized as the definitive philosophical account of the totalitarian mindset. A probing analysis of Nazism, Stalinism, and the âbanality of evilâ, it remains one of the most referenced works in studies and discussions of totalitarian movements around the world.
In this first volume, Antisemitism, Dr. Hannah Arendt traces the rise of antisemitism to Central and Western European Jewish history during the 19th century. With the appearance of the first political activity by antisemitic parties in the 1870s and 1880s, Arendt states, the machinery that led to the horrors of the Holocaust was set in motion. The Dreyfus Affair, in Arendtâs view, was âa kind of dress rehearsalââthe first modern use of antisemitism as an instrument of public policy and of hysteria as a political weapon.
âThe most original and profoundâtherefore the most valuableâpolitical theorist of our times.ââDwight MacDonald, The New Leader
