"The correspondence between Hannah Arendt and Karl Jaspers begins in 1926 when the twenty-year-old Arendt studied philosophy with Jaspers in Heidelberg. It is interrupted by Arendt's emigration and Jasper's 'inner emigration' and resumes in the fall of 1945. From then until Jaspers's death in 1969 the initial teacher-student relationship develops into a close friendship. Three countries figure prominently in the correspondence: Germany Israel and the United States. Among the topics are Fascism the atom bomb and the threat of global destruction German guilt for the Holocaust Jewishness the State of Israel American politics and American universities the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem. Arendt and Jaspers discuss people both famous and obscure. They gossip joke complain and argue. They commiserate with each other over the illnesses and infirmities of old age. And they converse about the world's great philosophers: Spinoza Kant Marx Max Weber Heidegger. Here is a fascinating dialogue between a woman and a man a Jew and a German a questioner and a visionary both uncompromising in their examination of our troubled century." —Publisher.
