Hannah Arendt was born in Germany in 1906 and lived in America from 1941 until her
death in 1975. Thus her life spanned the tumultuous years of the twentieth century,
as did her thought. She did not consider herself a philosopher, though she studied
and maintained close relationships with two great philosophersKarl Jaspers and Martin
Heideggerthroughout their lives. She was a thinker, in search not of metaphysical
truth but of the meaning of appearances and events. She was a questioner rather than
an answerer, and she wrote what she thought, principally to encourage others to think
for themselves. Fearless of the consequences of thinking, Arendt found courage woven
in each and every strand of human freedom
