Formasyon, Sürgün, Totalitarizm

Few thinkers approached the socio-political horrors and ethical drifts of the 20th century with as deep a perspective and intellectual honor as Hannah Arendt. Arendt is a writer who devotes herself very seriously to focusing on human issues and places the activity of understanding and meaning at the center of her intellectual life; The real importance of this mental activity, which has an endless and cyclical feature, lies in the process itself rather than the results it achieves. The thinker tried to understand the events and facts of this terrible century with such great passion that, with this attitude, he inspired those who came after him to confront the sufferings of the modern world without emotion and without evasion, even in the darkest times.

The book you have in your hand is a product of his quest to give meaning to the historical, political and cultural events that took place between the 1930s and the 1950s - in the context of continuity extending from the past to the future. Essays on existentialism, Kafka, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and essays examining Nazism, the concepts of responsibility and crime, the place of religion in the modern world, and especially the nature of totalitarianism, provide an extraordinary portrait of Arendt's development as a thinker; It reveals that his thoughts and judgments are as provocative and eye-opening today as they were when they were written.
