Abstract

This paper intends to identify in the early Hannah Arendt’s book on Rahel Varnhagen’s life the first sketches of some of the political concepts that were developed throughout her life as political theorist. It includes a follow-up of these concepts as they appear in Arendt’s different and later works and emphasizes the applied analysis of the concepts of assimilation, pariah and parvenu as well. Hannah Arendt and Rahel Varnhagen are personally compared regarding both their jewish and female identities in public and private life as well as their most intimate realm.
