Hannah Arendt as a contemporary

Hannah Arendt (1906 to 1975) was a modern contemporary of the 20th century. Her work reflects the trials and tribulations of that era and at the same time updates the fundamental questions of being human: the questions of truth and lies, good and evil, freedom and responsibility. Does Arendt prove to be not only a contemporary of the 20th century, but also a contemporary of ours? Not only a woman of yesterday, but also a woman of today - indeed, possibly even a woman of the future?

Eva von Redecker, born in 1982, is a philosopher and author. Her most recent book “Bleibefreiheit” (Lead Freedom) addresses the concept of freedom in the face of the ecological crisis and suggests that in future it should be understood more in terms of time rather than space. Her previous publications include “Gravitation zum Guten. Hannah Arendts Moralphilosophie” [“Gravitating to the Good. Hannah Arendt’s Moral Philosophy”]. She writes as a columnist for “Philosophie Magazin” and moderates the discussion series “Eva and The Apple” at Schauspiel Köln.
