ABSTRACT:
Hannah Arednt's concept of natality is by common consent one of her most numinous contributions to political philosophy. The symbol of natality, she says, is the Christian Gospels' announcement that "a child has been born unto us," which she characterizes as its greatest and most succinct expression. Arendt's formulation, however, owes more to Handel and the Jewish Bible than to the Gospels. Her silent revision of Christianity has implications for our understanding of natality and, more generally, of Arendt's intentions as a political theorist.
