Tyranny, occupation, disenchantment, post-truth politics, conspiracy theories, racism, mass migration, the banality of evil- she had lived through them all.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Born in the first decade of the last century, Arendt escaped fascist Europe to make a new life for herself in America, where she became one of the world's most influential - and controversial - public intellectuals. She wrote about power and terror, exile and love, and above all about freedom. Questioning - thinking - was her first defence against tyranny. In place of the forces of darkness and insanity, she pitched a politics of plurality, spontaneity and defiance. Loving the world, Arendt taught, meant finding the courage to protect it.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Written with passion and authority, Lyndsey Stonebridge's \u003ci\u003eWe Are Free to Change the World\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates Arendt's life and work and its urgent dialogue with our troubled present.
