Description

Focusing on the central theme of evil in Arendt's work, this book weaves together elements of Arendt's theory in order to engage with four major problems connected with contemporary globalization: genocide and crimes against humanity; global poverty and radical economic inequality; global refugees, displaced persons, and the 'stateless'; and the destructive domination of the public realm by predatory neoliberal economic globalization. Hayden shows that a key constellation of her concepts- the right to have rights, superfluousness, thoughtlessness, plurality, freedom, and power- can help us to understand and address some of the central problems involving political evil in our global age. -- From publisher's description.
