WE ARE FREE TO CHANGE THE WORLD - LYNDSEY STONE...

This bold new take on the life and ideas of political philosopher Hannah Arendt explores her
lessons for living in an age of uncertainty.    'Compelling and original' OBSERVER   
'Invigorating and insightful' FINANCIAL TIMES   Born in the first decade of the last century 
Hannah 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 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.  Written with passion and authority  Lyndsey Stonebridge's
We Are Free to Change the World illuminates Arendt's life and work and its urgent dialogue with
our troubled present. It calls on each of us to think our way  as Hannah Arendt did -
unflinchingly  lovingly  and defiantly - through our own unpredictable times.
