Arendt and Law

Part of Ashgate's Philosophers and Law series, the essays selected for this volume demonstrate the importance of law to a proper understanding of Hannah Arendt’s work. Although Arendt herself lacked any legal training and never wrote systematically about law her rich insights in this field have been studied closely by scholars and this collection marks the first attempt to gather that work, and to understand it thematically. The volume enables scholars to uncover what Arendt had to say about law, and legal scholars to evaluate her contribution to the field of law.
