About the Author
John Douglas Macready’s new book is [sic] timely and welcome. It is a clear and thought- provoking exploration of key aspects of Arendt’s thought, explaining some of her central concepts and arguments, and stating and discussing an Arendtian conception of human dignity . . . Macready’s arguments deserve repeated consideration and promotion.
