Unlike many other twentieth-century thinkers and theorists, including her erstwhile mentor Heidegger, Hannah Arendt has not enjoyed a particularly strong institutional reputation in the UK. Even in the US, where she lived, taught and worked after leaving Europe, her work is pressed into service to fit agendas and debates that do not do justice the complex wealth of her ideas. This symposium aims at changing all of that. Through a series of short, sharp interventions, we will address the critical neglect that with which Arendt’s legacy has been met hitherto, and start the process of restitution and engagement with her oeuvre, from the early dissertation on Love in Saint Augustine, through her “Jewish writings” on Rahel Vernhagen, to the monumental, and often controversial work, on totalitarianism, freedom, revolution, thinking and judgment.
