Sinossi
«I saggi qui raccolti sono variazioni sul tema della frattura che si apre nell’esistenza e nella cultura quando l’essere umano non può aprirsi al mondo e quindi al presente. I vari tipi di crisi, dell’autorità, della libertà, dell’istruzione, persino del pensiero, sono riportati alla fondamentale lacuna dell’agire. Questa assume l’aspetto decisivo di una interruzione della tradizione. […] Un aforisma di René Char fa da epigrafe ideale di questo libro: “La nostra eredità non è preceduta da alcun testamento”. Non c’è modo migliore di illuminare il paradosso tipicamente moderno, per cui ogni generazione, in una cultura educata nella storia più di ogni altra, dimentica le motivazioni di quelle che l’hanno preceduta.»

I am simply impressed by Arendt. I don't her so much to be critical as to simply get immersed in her thinking and this book is almost written a little for that purpose. It is not at all a book where she revels in her own brilliance but it is a book where she is testing her thinking which is suppose
I forgot I finished this book. It was great. I love Hannah Arendt (if I were alive in her time, I would definitely ask her out on a date, but that's beside the point, she clearly was a genius) and this is a rather approachable book given the topics and her complexity of thought. I especially liked her Leggi tutto
pretty great read, i must say. it's mostly stuff that has been covered elsewhere in her work, but this one covers different facets of her theory in 30- to 50-page-long essays, so i'd agree that it's probably her most approachable book. as with most of her work, a lot of this book takes the form of a Leggi tutto
lu en français mais je préfère cette couverture 😘
"فإن النظر من أجل الرؤية فقط هو أكثر الأعمال حرية." يقول كافكا أن “على الكتاب أن يكون الفأس التي تكسر البحر المتجمد فينا” حسناً. هذا الكتاب لا يقوم بذلك. لكن يمكن اعتبار هذا الكتاب شيء أقرب للتلويح بالفأس في الهواء تحضيراً لتلك الضربة التي ستكسر الجليد.

Arent is brilliant and a badass woman with amazing style. She's iconic.
starts beef with philosophical thought since socrates, but has a fresh and interesting view on what freedom is (spoiler it is a verb, not a state of being)
