“Hannah Arendt”: The big Twitter war of 1962

“Hannah Arendt”: The big Twitter war of 1962

Hannah Arendt was one of the most brilliant writer scholar and upholder of liberal values of her time. In her "Men in Dark Times" she clearly foresaw that we were witnessing dark times and in her "Crises of Republic" she saw the ills that were to engulf human society. In her seminal work "Origins of Totalitarianism", she dissected Totalitarianism and the origins of the idea of totalitarianism, i e, Nazism, Fascism & Communism. In "Human Condition"/ "Eichman in Jerusalam" she tries to find out the factors that propel a human being to act inhumanly. In many senses Arendt was a maverick thinker who didn't care about the popular opinion of the time.
