Hannah Arendt's treatment of the problematic of politics and truth manifests what she herself believed a mark of great philosophy-fundamental and flagrant contradiction. This connects closely with the flaws, tensions, contradictions, and virtues discerned in Arendt's philosophy by many critics-although this aspect of Arendt's theory has been neglected to this point. Arendt argued the problematic of politics and truth to be central to twentieth-century politics in particular and life in general. Examining her analysis of that problematic and tracing some of its implications for the strengths and weaknesses of her political theory is crucial for a thorough understanding of that theory and its importance
