Book review: Hannah Arendt and political theory: challenging tradition

Hannah Arendt’s work has been noted for its unorthodox and eclectic style, and in this book Steve Buckler aims to show that Arendt’s unusual approach reflects a consistent and distinctive conception of, and way of doing, political theory. Through close readings of her most influential works and her less well known and posthumously published writing, Buckler argues that Arendt’s work is an important and challenging alternative to the more orthodox methods characteristic of both analytic and post-analytic political theory.
