Stranger from abroad...

Hannah Arendt, Martin Heidegger, Friendship and Forgiveness, Daniel Maier-Katkin.  Reminded me why I admired Hannah Arendt so much thirty years ago.  She remained both honest and humane while losing none of her mental rigorousness.  Makes me long for the days when we had public intellectuals, rather than ideological spewers, on both the left and right.
