Description
Hannah Arendt was a writer and public intellectual. Arendt's approach to her work is clearly informed by the Holocaust and her life in Nazi Germany. Her best known books focus on violence, power, freedom, and human reason. Her arguments are well reasoned, clear, and fearless; her writing is charming and honest. Arendt's approach to philosophy is highly original and uncommonly humane; her biggest influence was perhaps her own conscience. She is still known for coining the memorable phrase "the banality of evil." Start with: Eichmann in Jerusalem
