    Useful Introduction to a Life of the Mind
  

*by P***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 20 August 2021*

Samantha Rose Hill accurately describes her intellectual biography of Hannah Arendt as "introductory." A slender volume, it is at once over-ambitious and insufficiently ambitious. Hill's ambition is to provide a coherent introduction to the life and each of many important works of an almost unbelievably prolific thinker and writer. In my disputable opinion, Hill  employs too much shorthand and frequent terse summaries that I found often too abstract or theoretical to connect to Arendt's great, lifelong project of writing from reality. Thus I thought the book  insufficiently ambitious, particularly for those of us who have read Arendt in articles or excerpts, have only modest knowledge of the most important works,  and are drawn to intellectual biography for keys to a subject's life, thought, and significance. I thought Hill's editor was remiss in allowing her, particularly in the important central 1950s chapters, to sometimes leave us hanging in the air with a missing connection to a work or an idea or a particular Arendtian word usage. A little more fleshing out would have helped. Elsewhere, gossipy passages took up valuable space without actually shedding light on Arendt or her work. And then there's the name-dropping list of all the brilliant friends, attracted by Arendt's gigantic intellect, that she harvested. (Who would have thought both W.H. Auden AND Hans Morganthau, in their 60s, proposed marriage to Arendt, also in her 60s, after the death of Arendt's husband?) I would have greatly appreciated a more capacious 25-50 or so pages of additional explication, spread across the works.Many chapters, however, and particularly the ones that focus on Arendt's more popular writing in the New Yorker or in literary reviews and newspaper articles, are excellent, answer questions raised by Arendt herself or by Hill's commentary, and are, as they stand, perfectly self-sufficient.As a guide to further study, Hill provides a useful select bibliography of significant titles in English and German. Moreover, she includes a fairly extensive gallery of photographs of Arendt, her family, and of course her distinguished friends.If you've taken the time to read these words, I'll hazard to guess you're interested in Hannah Arendt. Consequently, I would recommend that you dismiss my gripes and read the book. Hill has written a useful, extensively sourced introduction to a unique life and and a still more unique life of the mind. Hannah Arendt is indeed an author for our times, having investigated and commented on many of the potential sources of our political and social maladies, polarization, the drift toward authoritarianism, and the dangers of herd thinking, or more usefully, herd thoughtlessness - the thoughtlessness of the many who who are willing to surrender their minds to those politicians, propagandists, political parties, lobbyists, massive corporations and governmental institutions that strive every day to colonize our minds. These are challenges, political, social, and moral, that we have to  address as we approach the abyss that awaits us...unless we find a place for thoughtfulness, pluralism, and other- regarding civility. Hannah Arendt is a useful guide in coming to grips with our political dysfunction, and Samantha Rose Hill has provided a useful vehicle for prompting us to ponder what is to be done.
