Hannah Arendt wrote about power and terror, exile and love, and above all about freedom. In place of the forces of darkness and tyranny, she pitched a politics of plurality, spontaneity and defiance. Loving the world, Arendt taught, meant finding the courage to protect it.

Written with passion and authority, We Are Free to Change the World calls on each of us to think our way, as Arendt did unflinchingly, lovingly, and defiantly through our own unpredictable times.
