Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) and Hannah Arendt (1906-1976) were critical jewish mavericks who both suffered under violent political regimes and sought to reform systems os power. Although temporally separated by the Second World War and the rise of totalitarianism, they held in common strikingly similar convictions about freedom, human dignity, capitalism, democracy, and political commitment.
In this powerful book, Hermsen explores the lives and works of these two remarkable thinkers and the essential hope that emboldened them in the political struggle. Luxemburg and Arendt were spurred on by a restless love for the world and an unwavering belief in the possibility of new begginnings; for them, hope was an absolute prerequisite of resistance and a counterpoint to melancholy-a defense againts despair that kept them attuned to what could be.
