商品簡介
An all-too-timely guide on how to live--and think--through the challenges of our century drawn from the life and thought of political-theorist Hannah Arendt, one of the twentieth century's foremost opponent of totalitarianism and a "prophet against conformity" (The Nation). "Never has our future been more unpredictable, never have we depended so much on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of common sense and self-interest - forces that look like sheer insanity, if judged by the standards of other centuries."
--The Origins of Totalitarianism, 1951 Hannah Arendt would've recognized the extremes of our century from her own: the disenchantment with politics; the rise of conspiracy theories; self-censorship; powerlessness; racism; mass displacement; tyranny and occupation. She had lived through it already. Born in Germany in 1906, she escaped fascist Europe to make a new life for herself in America, where she became one its 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. She advocated a politics of action and plurality, and she knew that this also meant having the courage to defy and disobey. We Are Free to Change the World is a book about the Arendt we need for the twenty-first century. It tells us how and why Arendt came to think the way she did, and how to think when our own politics goes off the rails. Following Arendt's refugee journey from Germany to Paris, Lisbon to New York, Lyndsey Stonebridge's engaging new biography is both a guide to Arendt's life and work, and its urgent dialogue with our troubled present. Written with passion and authority, We Are Free to Change the World is a clarion call for us to think, as Hannah Arendt did--unflinchingly, lovingly, and defiantly--through our own unpredictable times.
