German-born American political scientist and philosopher known for her studies of totalitarianism. In "Origins of Totalitarianism" (1951), Arendt related the development of totalitarianism to 19th-century anti-Semitism and imperialism and saw its growth as the outcome of the disintegration of the traditional nation-state. Quote: "Under conditions of tyranny it is far easer to act than to think." (Add picture)

Probably the twentieth century's smartest political conservative, Arendt produced brilliant discussions of fascism, communism, and revolution. Unlike, say, Derrida, every word by Arendt counts; she's extraordinarily subtle, but you have to be patient and give her some time. My favorite work of hers is the short anatomy of power she wrote in the '60s called On Violence, which has some things to say about the civil-rights movement which would not be considered very politically correct today, but her arguments are very difficult to refute, and need to be carefully considered by those who, like me, are on the other side of the political fence.

I hated reading Arendt's books in college. DULL.
