“I reread The Human Condition sixty years after its original publication and am still awed by Allen’s foresight.” ─ Danielle Allen (political scientist)

"If we could extract a central theme from such a complex work, it would be a reminder of the importance of politics, of an appreciation of our political abilities, and of the dangers they entail and the opportunities they offer. "
──Margaret Canovan (Introducer of this book, political theorist)

"This book aims to awaken us: everyone comes to the world in the waiting of others, and is endowed with the power to create miracles and the possibility of achieving immortality - and also reminds readers that the entrustment of the deceased is actually There are risks. After all, the human world is a world dominated by living people. Although they can extol the great achievements of the deceased or work on completing unfinished grand plans, they can also decide to turn a page in history and find their own path. .”

This book is the most important thought puzzle of a generation of political thinker Hanna Oran. It attempts to lead readers back to the original conditions of political philosophy: politics is a matter that concerns everyone, and everyone can act with thinking and start new things. Although the results of their interactions are accidental and unpredictable. Amor Mundi (Love the World) is the original title set by Oran, which points out the starting point of reading and her long-term thinking about the thought of Augustine, the source of Christian theology, about how we love this earthly world.

For Olan, human beings are creatures that act in the sense of initiating things and series of events. Even if the energy is weak and we are constantly facing various difficulties, we can always take further actions to change or transform those seemingly inevitable processes. . Through forgiveness and commitment, we will always have the opportunity to resolve the injustices of the past and rise to immortality in the future, and we will always face darkness and unpredictable disasters; and choosing to fight unremittingly against such an open ending is precisely what we do with politics Love the world through action.
