内容介绍
在近乎空前的党派怨恨时代里,如果我们减少接触政治是可被谅解的。不过,在这本充满犀利批判笔锋的书中,作者却提出与上述相反的观点:也就是「人人享有政治」的主张。我们真正需要做的是与政治进行更广泛深入的接触,而不是不关心政治。作者以藉鉴汉娜・阿伦特(Hannah  Arendt)(1906-75)的思辨,来呼吁大家与政治建立一种更加纯粹和更多人文精神的关系,而这种关系理应是公开诚实交流的正义美德。汉娜・阿伦特作为出生於德国的犹太女性思想家,因纳粹政府上台流亡至美国,并开始在众多批判者前,从以下几个关键层面着手来捍卫政治:区分真正政治与扭曲形式的挑战;理解政治本身的困难;政治中的真理和判断力问题;以及政治中的说服角色。本书爲汉娜・阿伦特的思维理路提供更深刻的见解,可供有意作更深入思考的读者跟进。
 
 
书评
 “In Politics for Everybody, O’Gorman presents a concise and engaging argument for why political participation, leadership, and judgment are honorable and essential practices for a free society. His prose is clear and accessible, and at times truly eloquent. More than just a superb introduction to Arendt, this book could directly improve civic life in the United States.” -- Robert Hariman, Northwestern University
 

 
 “Politics for Everybody is a brave and successful attempt to introduce readers to Arendt’s ideas of politics in the face of the distorted examples in contemporary political thinking and acting. O’Gorman’s assumes—rightly, I think—that people are ready to hear a new case made for politics and the political, terms which here refer to an activity and an attitude, an ethic and an ethos. All those interested in contemporary politics will profit from meditating on O’Gorman’s rethinking of what politics should be about.” -- Richard H. King, University of Nottingham
