Violence and Power in the Thought of Hannah Arendt Ashcroft Caroline
Hannah Arendt was one of the foremost political theorists of the twentieth century to wrestle with the role of violence in public life. In Violence and Power in the Thought of Hannah Arendt, Caroline Ashcroft deepens our understanding of Arendt's conception of the role of violence, offering a critical reading of her work and using it as a provocation to think about how we might engage with contemporary ideas.Arendt has generally been thought to exclude acts of violence from "the political," based on her supposed idealization of ancient democratic politics. Yet remarkably, despite the fact that it was perhaps the most pressing issue of her era, this theme in her work has rarely been explored.
By examining Arendt's thought on violence in key examples of political practice such Ashcroft argues that Arendt has been widely misunderstood by both critics and advocates on this.
