How reliable is Hannah Arendt's view of history? Does she get anything really wrong?

by nuugat

Hannah Arendt often starts from historical events or societies (like the French Revolution or the Ancient Greeks) to elaborate her Philosophy... How respected is she among historians? Is she even read or debated among historians?

Are there some things that she saw more clearly than other people of her time? Or any views that she held which where really outdated?

Thanks ahead.

There are two responses by /u/commiespaceinvader I really like on this subject - though I'm not sure exactly how much they overlap with your question you'll probably find them interesting regardless:

On Origins of Totalitarianism

On Banality of Evil
