Jonathan was surprised by the weight; it seemed heavy, at first, but a few steps later, he wondered if maybe it was actually lighter than it should be. The wood was, after all, quite dense. But by the end she had been so thin, something he then tried not to think about. He decided that he had no basis for comparison. There was no reason to think the coffin was either heavy or light; experientially, it was exactly the weight all coffins he had ever handled weighed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJonathan tried to counterbalance by throwing one arm out to the side, but then thought having one arm flapping maybe looked disrespectful. Instead, he put it across his body and used it to help with the weight. The others struggled too. The natural burial field was riddled with little holes and clods of dirt. He wondered again why they hadn’t lifted it up on their shoulders. He was sure that’s what they should have done, but it was too late to do anything about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen they were coming up on the hole in the ground. There were wide, canvas straps across it, the straps wrapped around a metal frame so the coffin could rest over the grave. The pallbearers walked on either side and stopped. A pallbearer opposite Jonathan shifted his grip, the coffin rocked and when it stopped, something inside kept moving for a moment.

Well, the short answer may be: to love the world so much that we think change is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe life of Hannah Arendt spans a crucial chapter in the history of the Western world, a period that witnessed the rise of the Nazi regime and the crises of the Cold War, a time when our ideas about humanity and its value, its guilt and responsibility, were formulated. Arendt’s thinking is intimately entwined with her life and the concrete experiences she drew from her encounters with evil, but also from love, exile, statelessness, and longing. This strikingly original work moves from political themes that wholly consume us today, such as the ways in which democracies can so easily become totalitarian states; to the deeply personal, in intimate recollections of Arendt’s famous lovers and friends, including Heidegger, Benjamin, de Beauvoir, and Sartre; and to wider moral deconstructions of what it means to be human and what it means to be humane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn Love and Tyranny \u003c\/i\u003ebrings to life a Hannah Arendt for our days, a timeless intellectual whose investigations into the nature of evil and of love are eerily and urgently relevant half a century later.\u003c\/p\u003e","EAN":"9781487008130","excerpt_0":"https:\/\/biblioshare.org\/BNCservices\/BNCServices.asmx\/Samples?token=fcf85c1c1b298e99\u0026amp;ean=9781487008130\u0026amp;SAN=\u0026amp;Perspective=excerpt\u0026amp;FileNumber=0","Height":"8.5","HeightCode":"in","Imprint":"Anansi International","MetaKeywords":"amor mundi;Stalinism;violence;responsibility;forgiveness;xenophobia;autocracy;democracy collapse;political refugee;Cold War;heinrich Blucher;Kurt Blumenfeld;Bertolt Brecht;Karl Jaspers;Hans Jonas;Mary McCarthy;Anne Mendelsohn Weil;Gerson Scholem;Rahel Varnhagen;German Jewish","NumberOfPages":"272","OtherText_Accolades_0":"\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eOn Love and Tyranny\u003c\/em\u003e is a stunning biography of Hannah Arendt, one of the most important thinkers of the last century.

Taking the concept of \u003cem\u003eamor mundi\u003c\/em\u003e as her starting point, she muses on the difficulty of loving the world. Why is it so hard, and why must we love the world? The love Hannah discusses here is not love in the conventional sense. To love the world means reconciling oneself with it, in all its imperfection and weakness — because this reconciliation is necessary for its continued existence. For Hannah Arendt, it was a case of “understanding and accepting what really happened.” How could anyone love the world after the Holocaust? In what world is something like the Holocaust even possible?\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eHannah links love for the world, \u003cem\u003eamor mundi\u003c\/em\u003e, to responsibility, reflection, and judgement. A love that presupposes reflection over one’s own actions and an understanding of their consequences. In this approach, there are parallels to her thoughts on evil. Indifference can, according to Hannah, be fertile ground for evil, and the opposite of indifference is reflection. As a result, everyone has a responsibility to reflect on their own actions, a responsibility to choose, a responsibility not to simply obey orders and follow the crowd.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eYet the argument Hannah would come to call the \u003cem\u003ebanality of evil\u003c\/em\u003e aroused strong disgust and anger in many of her contemporaries. Hannah’s description of Adolf Eichmann, one of the architects of the Holocaust, as an unimaginative bureaucrat who was simply doing his job shocked the world. Critics saw Hannah’s argument as a diminishment of Eichmann’s guilt, and the book was slated everywhere. Friends and colleagues turned their backs on her. In an infamous interview with Günter Gaus on West German TV, just after the publication of \u003cem\u003eEichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil\u003c\/em\u003e (1964), Hannah is asked whether she wishes she had never written the book. Does she believe that, despite all the negative reactions — all the hate — she did the right thing by writing the book the way she did?\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eHannah, a middle-aged woman by the time of the interview, listens to Gaus’s question with a frown. She is wearing a dark dress, and her once-black hair, though thick as ever, is flecked with grey. She has one leg nonchalantly crossed over the other, her dark eyes guarded yet alert, and she is holding a cigarette in one hand. Gaus, clean shaven in a white shirt and thick rimmed glasses, seems almost breathless as he waits for her reply.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eHannah leans back in her armchair, studies Gaus intently, and takes a deep drag on her cigarette before she speaks. Her answer paraphrases Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I’s motto, \u003cem\u003efiat iustitia, et pereat mundus: fiat veritas, et pereat mundus\u003c\/em\u003e — let truth be done, though the world may perish. She raises her free hand and points at Gaus, as though to stress the importance of her words: “The truth must be told, regardless of the consequences of that truth.” A worthy motto for someone who put their life on the line on more than one occasion in their steadfast belief in what is true and right.\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Long_description_1":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSince the 2016 U.S. election, Hannah Arendt and her works have experienced a major rise in popularity.
