{"product_id":"the-political-theology-of-hannah-michael-weinman-9781399525541","title":"The Political Theology of Hannah Arendt: Augustine and the Invention of Modernity","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Political Theology of Hannah Arendt \u003c\/i\u003eclarifies how to understand Arendt's arguments about freedom, collective action, and the problem of evil as political theological, rather than political theoretical or philosophical. To achieve this, Weinman offers a comparative reading of Arendt's engagement with Augustine, from her 1929 dissertation through to \u003ci\u003eThe Life of the Mind\u003c\/i\u003e, which she was working on when she died in 1975. Weinman's innovation is to not only read both works together, but to also read them in light of Arendt's discussion of Augustine in key passages taken from all her works written in the decades between them. Arendt's attempt to reconcile liberal commitments with the Augustinian tradition makes clear why Arendt--and not Carl Schmitt--ought to be read as offering the preeminent response to Max Weber's theory of modernity as inescapably secular, the result of irreversible processes of disenchantment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Weinman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399525549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399525541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Michael Weinman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46838581657855,"sku":"9781399525541","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d365b59d-96db-4abf-bb16-7fdb7b072507.jpg?v=1746590275","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-political-theology-of-hannah-michael-weinman-9781399525541","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
