Hannah Arendt (1906–1975) was one of the most influential political philosophers of the twentieth century. Born into a German-Jewish family, she was forced to leave Germany in 1933 and lived in Paris for the next eight years, working for a number of Jewish refugee organisations. In 1941 she immigrated to the United States and soon became part of a lively intellectual circle in New York. She held a number of academic positions at various American universities until her death in 1975. She is best known for two works that had a major impact both within and outside the academic community. The first, The Origins of Totalitarianism, published in 1951, was a study of the Nazi and Stalinist regimes that generated a wide-ranging debate on the nature and historical antecedents of the totalitarian phenomenon. The second, The Human Condition, published in 1958, was an original philosophical study that investigated the fundamental categories of the vita activa (labor, work, action). In addition to these two important works, Arendt published a number of influential essays on topics such as the nature of revolution, freedom, authority, tradition and the modern age. At the time of her death in 1975, she had completed the first two volumes of her last major philosophical work, The Life of the Mind, which examined the three fundamental faculties of the vita contemplativa (thinking, willing, judging).

Indeed oneof the most obvious distinctions between power and violenceis that power always stands in need of numbers,whereas violence up to a point can manage without them because it relieson implements.A legally unrestricted majority rule,that is,ademocracy without a constitution,can be very formidable in thesuppression of the rights of minorities and very effective in thesuffocation of dissent without any use of violence.But that doesnot mean that violence and power are the same.

the greatest enemy of authorty, therefore, is contempt, and the surest way to undermine it is laughing.
