To think and act as politically responsible citizens, you have to start by accepting doubts and daring to say "no". It is not enough to ask critical questions, it is also necessary to explore the relationship between the past and the future to be aware of the opportunities that the present offers, and to take advantage of them. Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) and Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) were two thinkers who, from critical positions with capitalism and the consumer society, advocated greater political participation of the population. In this timely and enlightening essay, Joke J. Hermsen endorses the recognition that Arendt claimed for Rosa Luxemburg's legacy, and wonders to what extent the thinking of these two philosophers can be useful to us in the transition towards a more sustainable, humane and sustainable society. solidarity.
