We Are Free to Change the World

Lyndsey Stonebridge

#3536 of 3,809 books · #1163 in Biography & Memoir

Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Writing (2024).

A bold exploration of the life and work of one of the world's most influential – and controversial – thinkers, which brings Arendt's ideas into urgent dialogue with our troubled present. Hannah Arendt wrote about power and terror, exile and love, and above all about freedom. In place of the forces of darkness and tyranny, she pitched a politics of plurality, spontaneity and defiance. Loving the world, Arendt taught, meant finding the courage to protect it. Written with passion and authority, We Are Free to Change the World calls on each of us to think our way, as Arendt did – unflinchingly, lovingly, and defiantly – through our own unpredictable times.
