By: Thomas Meyer
A revelatory, long-awaited, and definitive intellectual biography of Hannah Arendt, one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century
Drawing on newly discovered archival materials and previously overlooked documents—from both Germany where Arendt was born to a Jewish family in 1906, to the United States where she was a citizen from 1950—Thomas Meyer tells the story of an intellectual icon whose character and ideas continue to captivate and challenge us to this day. Tracing anew Arendt’s journey from Königsberg to Paris, where she fled to after being imprisoned by the Gestapo in 1933, and finally to New York, Meyer illuminates her formative years and the development of her radical and brilliant books, as well as her long love affair with Martin Heidegger, whose Nazism posed a deadly threat to Arendt’s life and family. His account centers on two pivotal phases—Arendt’s years in Paris after fleeing Nazi Germany and her years in the U.S. leading up to the landmark publication of Origins of Totalitarianism—providing not only a meticulous reconstruction of her life but also a compelling invitation to rethink her legacy for our times.
At a time of acute political polarization, with liberalism in crisis and urgent debates about freedom, responsibility, and truth unfolding all around, Arendt’s writings and ideas echo more powerfully than ever. Meyer’s account of her extraordinary life is groundbreaking and sensational, not just for his illuminating and peerless research, but his incisive account of Arendt’s work has meant over the decades—and continues to mean for us today.
