Man Confronts Himself Alone

Philosophy

“The Arendtian scholar Mihaely succeeds again in providing another informative, insightful, thought-provoking, and practical publication. The academician-practitioner continues to show his breadth and depth of learning as he helpfully explains, summarizes, and analyzes Arendt’s political theories and historical-philosophical method of examining events while also interacting with some of the world’s greatest thinkers before, during, and after Arendt’s lifetime. Relying heavily on the prologue and the last section in Arendt’s The Human Condition, Mihaely is not afraid to give his humble opinion regarding how and why the over sixty-five-year-old work remains relevant and applicable to modern-day science, technology, economics, and politics. With the author’s usual impressive and exemplary succinctness, the slim Man Confronts Himself Alone should be read by anyone interested in how an Arendtian framework applied then, in 1958, and applies now, in 2024, concerning the complex ‘entanglements’ of these four major fields of study. Highly recommended.”
