German-American political theorist known for work on totalitarianism, power, and the nature of evil. Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem introduced the concept of the "banality of evil". Her analysis of public and private spheres, action, and political participation influenced democratic theory. Arendt's emphasis on thinking and judgment as political acts remains deeply relevant.
