For Hannah Arendt, friendship had political relevance and
importance. The essence of friendship, she believed, consisted in
discourse, and it is only through discourse, she argued, that the
world is rendered humane. This book explores some of the key ideas
in Hannah Arendt's work through a study of four lifelong
friendships -- with Heinrich Blucher, Martin Heidegger, Karl
Jaspers and Mary McCarthy. The book draws on correspondence from
both sides, illuminating our understanding of the social contexts
within which Arendt's thinking developed and was clarified. It
offers a cultural history of ideas: shedding light on two core
ideas in Arendt - of 'plurality' and 'promise', and on how those
particular ideas emerged through a particular set of relationships,
at a significant moment in the history of the West. This book
offers an original and accessible 'way in' to Arendt's work for
students and scholars of politics, philosophy, intellectual history
and literature.
