Una herencia sin testamento: Hannah Arendt

Fina Birules investigates Arendt's exercises in thought, which are evidence of a stubborn and lucid search for the ways of thinking and organizing politics that our times need, once the thread of tradition has been irreversibly broken. Her legacy is presented to us here without an instruction manual, like an inheritance without a will. Hannah Arendt's reflections arise from the experience of totalitarianism. The clash of thought with reality and the inadequacy of old conceptual tools to 20th century politics force her to seek new forms of understanding. Thus, her work is characterized by a fierce intellectual independence, and also by a conflictive relationship between philosophy, sociology, history and psychology.
