Marshall's 'Citizenship and Social Class' that focuses on the idea of the status of freedom as central to the conception of the welfare state. While Marshall invokes an historical androcentric English conception of the status of freedom, in 1949 (the year of giving these lectures) he was aware of postwar human rights discourse. His principal concern was to oppose the status of freedom to a caste-like class system and to champion a qualitative equality that was not eroded by market-based class differences. It is this conception that justifies government provision of social rights. There is nothing in this framework that excludes women even as it may need an historical restatement to ensure their inclusion.

In rhetoric the community of speakers and hearers is not only called into being but so too the nature of the topos or place that is shared, a determination that is timely or historical. The recent publication of Heidegger's 1924 lectures on Aristotle's Rhetoric explores this idea of rhetoric. These lectures raise questions for how and whether Heidegger sustained this conception in his later work, and also questions for how this conception may have influenced Arendt's approach to political thought. Arendt's conception of the role of the spectator who engages in the activity of understanding in order to "try to be at home in the world" is especially pertinent here. Arendt's writing, so far as it calls into being a rhetorical relationship between her "speech" and her hearers/readers, is best appreciated as rhetoric.

One such setting is employment services for people with mental illness (the case studied here). Yeatman and Owler explore the role of contract in opening the service relationship to a process of negotiated transactions that ensure both that the consumer's agency drives the relationship and is developed through it. The authors detail the contractualist protocols that operate in a disability employment service. Although infra-legal in character, the nature of this contractualism is similar to what legal theorists call relational contracting.

In what follows, I discuss the question of personal responsibility from the standpoint of two individualsJean Amery and Hannah Arendt-who were positioned as Jews in the relationship between the Nazi Regime and its victims. While each of these individuals knew they were Jewish prior to the rise of the Nazis, it was the Nazi experience that gave to their awareness of being Jewish an entirely new resonance

At the risk of offering too potted a summary of what was a complex series of meditations devel-oped over the course of her career as a political philosopher, I want to suggest the nature of her prescience in regard to what she called "the human condition" and the human desire to reconcile themselves to "reality, that is, try to be at home in the world" (Arendt 1994, 308).
