Do not everyday work, planning and manufacturing activities, science and technology and even partly artistic creativity serve to escape from political action, from the open public world? Hannah Arendt tends to answer this question positively. It is concerned about the state of modern society, locked in the efficiency of production and consumption. The historical possibilities of free personal action remain unclaimed. Wide systematic analysis in the book exposed the initial needs and conditions of human existence, the main types of human activity and, above all, the turn of human history associated with the transfer of the center of gravity to science and the invasion of mankind into space. This book is the main work on political theory that laid the foundation for this science in the 20th century. One of the rare philosophical works of our time, capable of captivating any educated reader. In a4. format pdf saved publishing layout.
