Edition project
Part of the edition project Hannah Arendt – Complete Works. Critical Edition.
The Critical Edition will present Hannah Arendt's texts for the first time in their entirety, annotated and in the variety of languages in which they were written. The edition presents all the works published by Hannah Arendt during her lifetime (monographs, essay collections, articles, interviews, etc.) as well as thousands of pages of unpublished documents from her estate (typescripts, notes, preliminary versions and revisions) in the original languages of the texts.
The Critical Edition is conceived as a hybrid edition (print and digital): The print edition is published by Wallstein Verlag in Göttingen, while the digital version is published by Freie Universität Berlin. The book and web portal optimise the potential of each medium in a systematic interweaving.
The edition project Hannah Arendt – Complete Works. Critical Edition was accepted for long-term funding by the German Research Foundation (DFG) in 2020. Annette Vowinckel has been co-editor of the edition since 2018 and is working on the volumes The Origins of Totalitarianism/Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft (to be published in 2025) and Short Writings/Kleine Schriften II (planned for 2027). She will be supported by Elena Stingl.
