Review

"A new reading of Hannah Arendt's philosophy of human rights Hannah Arendt and Human Rights is to demonstrate how closely Arendt's account of the human condition... can figure into demonstrating that the discourse on human rights is not wholly negative, not wholly an empirical upshot of the disasters of the twentieth century. The idea of human rights we now possess articlates what, plausibly, might be thought to be involved in recognizing all others as members of the human community, thereby underwriting the political structures necessary to hold the fragile framework of the conditions of humanity in place. Birmingham can thus be thought to have demonstrated, at the very least, that pursuing the goal of realizing human rights is one direct way of pursuing an Arendtian politics." —J.M. Bernstein, New School for Social Research, Research in Phenomenology, 38 2008

Peg Birmingham explores the theoretical and social foundations of
Arendt's philosophy on human rights. Devoting special consideration to
questions and issues surrounding Arendt's ideas of common humanity,
human responsibility, and natality, Birmingham explains how these basic
concepts support Arendt's theory of human rights.Joseph Haberer, Book Review Editor, SHOFAR, Spring 2008, Volume 26, No 3

(Joseph Haberer, Book Review Editor SHOFAR )

"The achievement of Birmingham's book is that it situates Arendt's much cited discussion of the right to have rights within the broader context of her later work. She persuasively shows that the political predicament of stateless people exemplified the problematic of modern politics with which she was implicitly preoccupied in her later work on freedom and praxis..." —ANDREW SCHAAP, University of Exeter, UK, Social & Legal Studies, Vol. 18.2 2009
