Hannah Arendt

Hannah Arendt's thought is difficult to tame and even more difficult to reduce to the commonplaces of contemporary discourse. Her indisputable intellectual independence and an indefatigable will to understand led her to go beyond the questions and principles of the philosophical tradition to propose new forms of reflection and political organization for the modern world. To accompany Arendt in her "thought experiments", Fina Birulés chooses two recurrent categories in the work of the Jewish philosopher of German origin: world and birth. And around these ideas, he tells us about tradition, beginnings, community, distance, freedom, memory, education, creating meaning, understanding and, above all, responsibility. Under the watchful eye of Hannah Arendt, this essay shows that what is really at stake is the world.
