摘要：A special issue of Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics devoted to Hannah
Arendt (1906-1975) in a period of heavy inflation of secondary literature and
memorial celebrations might appear both pretentious and superfluous. Of
course, we hope it is not. Yet, a condition must be met, i.e. to resist the
temptation of setting out an immediate, simple answer to the question of
how much of Arendt!ˉs thought and wor is still alive today. Partly, since
fame !a something the author ofVita activa certainly does not lack !a is
often a deceptive mirror, as Arendt herself was well aware of. And partly,
since an immediate answer would imply the resort to such concepts as
Zeitgem?ssigkeit and Unzeitgem?ssigkeit which, despite their glorious
nitzschean echoes, seem too vague and obscure to be really useful in the
present case.
