Hannah Arendt

Fifty years after her death, Hannah Arendt’s thinking is more relevant than ever. We explore her life and work from various perspectives and invite readers to reconsider her questions about freedom, responsibility, and judgement in light of today’s challenges. In doing so, we ask: what does it mean today to think and act in the spirit of Arendt?
