Opis: We Are Free to Change the World: Hannah Arendt’s Lessons in Love and Disobedience - Lyndsey Stonebridge

This bold new take on the life and ideas of political philosopher Hannah Arendt explores her lessons for living in an age of uncertainty `Exhilarating, brilliant and utterly original` - PHILIPPE SANDS, author of East West Street `Beautifully written... Biography at its best` - EDDIE GLAUDE, author of Begin Again The violent unease of today`s world would have been all too familiar to Hannah Arendt. Tyranny, occupation, disenchantment, post-truth politics, conspiracy theories, racism, mass migration, the banality of evil: she had lived through them all. 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 one of the world`s most influential - and controversial - public intellectuals. She wrote about power and terror, exile and love, and above all about freedom. Questioning - thinking - was her first defence against tyranny. In place of the forces of darkness and insanity, she pitched a politics of plurality, spontaneity and defiance. Loving the world, Arendt taught, meant finding the courage to protect it. Written with passion and authority, Lyndsey Stonebridge`s We Are Free to Change the World illuminates Arendt`s life and work and its urgent dialogue with our troubled present. It calls on each of us to think our way, as Hannah Arendt did - unflinchingly, lovingly and defiantly - through our own unpredictable times.
