    • Hannah Arendt: Die Biografie

    April 3, 2024
    Meyers Arendt-Biografie ist definitiv für all diejenigen, die über die Details von Arendts sozialen Beziehungen, politischen Aktivitäten und Ursprünge ihrer Werke erfahren wollen (welche politisch sind). Für alle diejenigen jedoch, die ihr philosophisches Denken kennenlernen wollen, ist es leider weniger geeignet und kann nur kapitelweise effizient gelesen werden. Aus diesem Grund verfehlt die Kurzbeschreibung des Buches, in der es heißt, Arendts Meinung "Alles Denken ist Nachdenken, der Sache nach – denken" bilde Leitfaden dieser Biografie, seinen wahren Brennpunkt. Ihre Philosophie und das Denken, welches ihrer Philosophie zugrunde liegt, wird in der ersten Hälfte nur im Kapitel über Heidegger und Jaspers thematisiert, aber auch nur angesprochen. Erst in der zweiten Hälfte wird mit Arendts Werk “Origins of Totalitarianism” —Kapitel: “Denken in Worten” — begonnen, ihre Denkweise unter die Lupe zu nehmen.

    Hannah Arendt (1906–75) became one of the most important American public intellectuals in the period from the end of World War II until her death. How did a German-Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany manage to accomplish this feat? As Heller (Ayn Rand and the World She Made) makes clear in this excellent biography, she did so through the power of her intellect and the force of her unusual personality. Heller explores Arendt's background as a philosophy student in Germany, including her notorious affair with Martin Heidegger. Arendt displayed from an early age an interest in politics, and Heller covers her complex relations with the Zionist movement. After the war, she achieved renown through her influential The Origins of Totalitarianism. Heller gives a solid account of the book's critical reception, although political philosopher Eric Voegelin was not as favorable to the work as she suggests. Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalemled to great controversy, also thoroughly described by Heller.

    VERDICT Heller's biography is less detailed that Elizabeth Young-Bruehl's Hannah Arendt: For Love of the World but incorporates new information. Anyone interested in Arendt and, more generally, in European or American intellectual history post-World War II will find this valuable reading.

    Hannah Arendt

    German American historian and philosopher (1906–1975)

    Hannah Arendt (,;German:[ˈhanaˈʔaːʁənt]; born Johanna Arendt; 14 October 1906 – 4 December 1975) was a German and American historian and philosopher. She was one of the most influential political theorists of the twentieth century.

    Her works cover a broad range of topics, but she is best known for those dealing with the nature of wealth, power, and evil, as well as politics, direct democracy, authority, tradition, and totalitarianism. She is also remembered for the controversy surrounding the trial of Adolf Eichmann, for her attempt to explain how ordinary people become actors in totalitarian systems, which was considered by some an apologia, and for the phrase "the banality of evil." Her name appears in the names of journals, schools, scholarly prizes, humanitarian prizes, think-tanks, and streets; appears on stamps and monuments; and is attached to other cultural and institutional markers that commemorate her thought.

    Hannah Arendt was born to a Jewish family in Linden in 1906. Her father died when she was seven. Arendt was raised in a politically progressive, secular family, her mother being an ardent Social Democrat. After completing secondary education in Berlin, Arendt studied at the University of Marburg under Martin Heidegger, with whom she engaged in a romantic affair that began while she was his student. She obtained her doctorate in philosophy at the University of Heidelberg in 1929. Her dissertation was entitled Love and Saint Augustine, and her supervisor was the existentialist philosopher Karl Jaspers.

    Hannah Arendt married Günther Stern in 1929 but soon began to encounter increasing antisemitism in the 1930s Nazi Germany. In 1933, Arendt was briefl
