Thinking Without a Banister

Meer over het boek

Born in Germany in 1906 and later a resident of America, Hannah Arendt's life and work reflect the complexities of the twentieth century. Rather than seeing herself as a philosopher, she engaged deeply with thinkers like Karl Jaspers and Martin Heidegger. Her writings focus on understanding the significance of events and appearances, encouraging independent thought among her readers. Arendt's fearless exploration of ideas reveals her belief in the intrinsic courage found within human freedom.
