Über die Revolution
Book • 1963
In 'On Revolution,' Hannah Arendt critiques the French Revolution in comparison to the American Revolution.

' Arendt emphasizes the importance of local, participatory government and criticizes traditional party politics.
The book explores the historical context and philosophical underpinnings of revolutions, highlighting the distinction between public freedom and civil rights.
