The Bloomsbury Companion to Arendt
This volume explores many of the “thought trains” central to Arendt’s understanding of modernity. Essays on dozens of topics invite readers to think about politics, birth, truth, and power in light of Arendt’s profound reflections on those topics. While Arendt found “truth” elusive, she thought we were obliged to “think about what we are doing”, the authors of these essays help us to shoulder that task.

The State of Sovereignty
Lessons from the Political Fictions of Modernity"Gratton's methodological rigour in reconstructing each pathway is a great strength of the book … This is a very pedagogical book, full of lessons in the way it treats each of the authors under discussion. It is therefore a good graduate student text, and for each discussed author the book makes significant contributions to current scholarship." — Philosophy in Review "Drawing on eminent thinkers including Boulainvilliers, Rousseau, Arendt, Foucault, Agamben, and Derrida, Gratton … provides a novel synthesis. He concludes that for those who believe in freedom and democracy, questioning rather than resigning to sovereignty as it presents itself is essential. The book reflects some of Gratton's earlier published work and further attests to his facility with French political thought … Gratton's discussion overall is penetrable and stimulating." — CHOICE
