The Origins of Totalitarianism
After Hannah Arendt's death a number of her essays and notes have continued to be edited and published posthumously by friends and colleagues, including those that give some insight into the unfinished third part of "The Life of the Mind". "The Jew as Pariah: Jewish Identity and Politics in the Modern Age" (1978), is a collection of 15 essays and letters from the period 1943–1966 on the situation of Jews in modern times, to try and throw some light on her views on the Jewish world, following the backlash to "Eichmann", but proved to be equally polarizing. A further collection of her writings on being Jewish was published as "The Jewish Writings" (2007). Other work includes the collection of forty, largely fugitive, essays, addresses, and reviews entitled "Essays in Understanding 1930–1954: Formation, Exile, and Totalitarianism" (1994), that presaged her monumental "The Origins of Totalitarianism", in particular "On the Nature of Totalitarianism" (1953) and "The Concern with Politics in Contemporary European Philosophical Thought" (1954). The remaining essays were published as "Thinking Without a Banister: Essays in Understanding, 1953-1975" (2018). Her notebooks which form a series of memoirs, were published as in 2002.
