"We are still living in Hannah Arendt's world… It is hard to name a thinker of the twentieth century more sought after as a guide to the dilemmas of the twenty-first." —Adam Kirsch,The New Yorker “The combination of tremendous intellectual power with great common sense makes Miss Arendt’s insight into history and politics seem both amazing and obvious.” —Mary McCarthy “[Arendt] took responsibility for observing the inhuman uses of power and for summoning her generation to judgment and action.” —Samantha Power, The New York Review of Books |
