Status Updates From Heidegger's Children: Hanna...

Marcuse, concrete philosophy and the pervasive nature of Alienation.

Wasn't very familiar with Karl Löwith, though the chapter has certainly prompted interest. Thank heavens Powell's is reopening soon!

Wolin is unsparing in his treatment of Arendt. I wasn’t expecting such.

First chapter was interesting, though I suspect this will be a legacy sort of approach: given the misdeeds of the philosopher his acolytes responded thusly.

Wolin's biographical exposition of the intellectual and romantic relationships of Hannah Arendt and Heidegger is compelling and informative. Wolin also argues that Arendt got some things wrong in her thesis of the banality of evil, which I found very interesting. I will look into this line further, since I am interested to know more about the objections to Arendt's idea there.
