Do not everyday work, planning and manufacturing activities, science and technology, and even, to some extent, artistic creativity serve as an escape from political action, from the open public world? Hannah Arendt is inclined to answer this question positively. She is concerned about the state of modern society, locked in the businesslike nature of production and consumption. The historical possibilities of free personal action remain unclaimed. The book subjected to a broad systematic analysis the initial needs and conditions of human existence, the main types of human activity and, above all, the turn in human history associated with the transfer of the center of gravity to science and the invasion of humanity into space. This book is the main work on political theory, which laid the foundation for this science in the 20th century. One of the rare philosophical works of modern times, capable of captivating any educated reader.
