The Origins of Totalitarianism

We are pleased to present this Trinity Forum Reading featuring selections from Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism, introduced by national security expert and Trinity Forum Senior Fellow William Inboden. 

Arendt’s struggle to identify and analyze the causes of and catalysts to totalitarianism arose from her struggle to make sense of her time, in which the rise of Nazism and reign of Stalinism left so many millions dead and a world destroyed. But her insights have unsettling relevance for our times as well, as the increasing societal atomization, isolation, and confusion we face are not unlike some of the conditions that made tyranny possible a few generations ago. This Reading will prompt reflection on the dangers of isolation and loneliness, the necessity of community, and the dark imperative behind utopianism.
