Search - List of Books by Hannah Arendt

Just as you [Eichmann] supported and carried out a policy of not wanting to share the earth with the Jewish people and the people of a number of other nations ... as though you and your superiors had any right to determine who should and who should not inhabit the world ... we find that no one, that is, no member of the human race, can be expected to want to share the earth with you. This is the reason, and the only reason, you must hang.

Today Arendt's legacy must confront a notoriety that, in its excessiveness, runs the risk of banalizing her. In the last decade, in particular, the media circus that has drawn in, for better or for worse, even philosophy, has been flooded with images of Hannah Arendt.
