Juger : une activité humaine en apparence simple, que certains réduiraient volontiers à sa forme courante judiciaire ou à ses aspects purement logiques. H. Arendt, au contraire, discerne dans cette activité éthique par excellence ce qui permet d'agir selon des valeurs et de résister à l'inacceptable : elle met ainsi en évidence l'importance politique de ce verbe performatif. D'où vient la " faculté de juger " ? Quelle est sa place en philosophie ? Les " Conférences sur la philosophie politique de Kant ", qui forment le cœur de ce livre, indiquent sa source principale : la Critique de la faculté de juger de Kant. Comme toujours, Arendt relit, réinterprète, prolonge la tradition critique bien au-delà du cadre kantien et met à l'épreuve sa propre philosophie politique. Livre posthume, Juger n'en est pas moins la pièce maîtresse de la pensée de Hannah Arendt.
