HannahArendt.net
is an internet journal that is the successor of the Hannah Arendt Newsletter (1999ff).
The editorial group: who we are and what are our goals
We are: Wolfgang Heuer (Berlin), Waltraud Meints (Oldenburg-Hannover), Marie Luise Knott (Berlin), Ursula Ludz (Munich), Ingeborg Nordmann (Bensheim), Zoltan Szankay (Bremen). In the spring of 2004 we formed the Berlin Arendt networking Group. Each of us is engaged in research on Hannah Arendt both within and outside of the academy and has published on Arendt and her thought and/or edited some of her work.
For five years we edited and published the Hannah Arendt Newsletter. Then, as now, our aims are guided by a quotation from one of Hannah Arendt's unpublished manuscripts, Introduction into Politics:
"The point is, rather, that we know from experience that no one can adequately grasp the objective world in its full reality all on his own, because the world always shows and reveals itself to him from only one perspective, which corresponds to his standpoint in the world and is determined by it. If someone wants to see and experience the world as it "really" is, he can do so only by understanding it as something that is shared by many people, lies between them, separates and links them, showing itself differently to each and comprehensible only to the extent that many people can talk about it and exchange their opinions and perspectives with one another, over against one another."
This view of the world forms an essential part of Arendt's heritage. In our times, in which there is an unfortunate tendency to either unquestioningly accept the existence of a common world as given or to abandon the idea altogether in favour of individual or cultural positions of relativism, Arendt's view represents a challenge. With HannahArendt.net we want to meet this challenge and to promote knowledge and debate about the thought of Hannah Arendt, philosopher and political theorist.

The network: Editor and Corresponding Editors
HannahArendt.net is edited by the Hannah Arendt-Zentrum at the Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg (Director: Antonia Grunenberg) in cooperation with the Hannah Arendt Center at the New School University, New York (Director: Jerome Kohn). Both institutions are also represented on the internet by their own websites (see links).
An international group of Corresponding Editors has agreed to stimulate and gather contributions communicating information and debate from their own countries. Thus, a plurality is reflected which emerges out of various cultural and political contexts. Unfortunately, we cannot yet reflect this plurality in language and can only publish texts in English or German.
