Description
Hannah Arendt's life and ideas offer a powerful response to the challenges of our uncertain world. Born in the first decade of the last century, Arendt escaped fascist Europe to make a new life for herself in America, where she became a leading public intellectual. Her work focused on power, terror, exile, love, and freedom, and she argued that questioning and thinking were essential defenses against tyranny. Arendt's politics of plurality, spontaneity, and defiance offers a compelling alternative to the forces of darkness and insanity. She believed that loving the world required finding the courage to protect it. Written with passion and authority, Lyndsey Stonebridge's biography illuminates Arendt's life and work, and its urgent dialogue with our troubled present. This book calls on each of us to think our way, unflinchingly, lovingly, and defiantly, through our own unpredictable times.
