Well, the short answer may be: to love the world so much that we think change is possible. The life of Hannah Arendt spans a crucial chapter in the history of the Western world, a period that witnessed the rise of the Nazi regime and the crises of the Cold War, a time when our ideas about humanity and its value, its guilt and responsibility, were formulated. Arendt's thinking is intimately entwined with her life and the concrete experiences she drew from her encounters with evil, but also from love, exile, statelessness, and longing. This strikingly original work moves from political themes that wholly consume us today, such as the ways in which democracies can so easily become totalitarian states; to the deeply personal, in intimate recollections of Arendt's famous lovers and friends, including Heidegger, Benjamin, de Beauvoir, and Sartre; and to wider moral deconstructions of what it means to be human and what it means to be humane. On Love and Evil brings to life a Hannah Arendt for our days, a timeless intellectual whose investigations into the nature of evil and of love are eerily and urgently relevant half a century later."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 700 1 $a Menzies, Alice, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210402012452.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE0FE8FA937811EB99EFE00156ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
