About Hannah Arendt
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) was a German-American philosopher and political theorist known for her work on the nature of power, totalitarianism, and the human condition. Fleeing Nazi Germany, she settled in the United States, where she became a prominent public intellectual, authoring influential books such as "The Human Condition" and "The Origins of Totalitarianism." Arendt is perhaps best known for her concept of "the banality of evil," derived from her reporting on the Adolf Eichmann trial, which explored the complexities of moral responsibility in a totalitarian context.
