<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Artifacts of Thinking is a collection of essays exploring a combination of the intellectual concerns and thoughts of Hannah Arendt's Denktagebuch, and the methodological questions of how to treat unpublished writings and engaging with the private intellectual life of a highly public figure.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Artifacts of Thinking: Reading Arendt's "Denktagebuch" offers a path through Hannah Arendt's recently published Denktagebuch, or "Book of Thoughts." In this book a number of innovative Arendt scholars come together to ask how we should think about these remarkable writings in the context of Arendt's published writing and broader political thinking. <p/>Unique in its form, the Denktagebuch offers brilliant insights into Arendt's practice of thinking and writing. Artifacts of Thinking provides an introduction to the Denktagebuch as well as a glimpse of these fascinating but untranslated fragments that reveal not only Arendt's understanding of "the life of the mind" but her true lived experience of it.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Artifacts of Thinking contributes new and important work to scholarship on Hannah Arendt's thinking. The essays included in the volume take up familiar topics in Arendt's thought but informed by her private 'thought diary' take up these topics in unusual and provocative ways. The book also introduces German scholars of Arendt to English-only readers of Arendt and the inclusion of their voices in the conversion opens up exciting horizons for research and study."<b>-----Jennifer Culbert, <i>Johns Hopkins University</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br><strong>Roger Berkowitz</strong> is the Academic Director of the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities and Associate Professor of Politics, Human Rights, and Philosophy at Bard College. <p/><strong>Ian Storey </strong>is<strong> </strong>Lecturer on Social Studies at Harvard University.<br>
