Hannah Arendt. Libertad política y totalitarismo shows Hannah Arendt’s political thought in terms of a theoretical activity deeply linked to praxis. Fina Birulés highlights two key elements that marked Arendt’s intellectual trajectory. One is the intellectual confrontation with Karl Jaspers and Martin Heidegger and the other is the political opposition to German Nazism. The political event of totalitarianism leads the German Jewish author to acknowledge that a new comprehension of politics, unlinked from universalism and the abstraction of political philosophy, is necessary. Walter Benjamin’s notion of crystallization would be one answer, as well as an autonomous
thinking about politics based on the category of birth.
