We Are Free to Change the World: Hannah Arendt’s Lessons in Love and Disobedience
by Lyndsey Stonebridge
We Are Free to Change the World by Lyndsey Stonebridge is an excellent, well-written book that shows why Hannah Arendt is still an important and sometimes controversial thinker today.

“Can a book about a towering philosopher ever be described as ‘zippy’? That’s the word that keeps coming back to me when I think about Lyndsey Stonebridge’s compellingly readable book on Hannah Arendt’s life and work. With antisemitism and totalitarianism on the rise in 2024, Arendt’s lucid thinking is as relevant as ever. We Are Free to Change the World deserves to be read far and wide, especially on university campuses.” Read more...
