Amor Mundi
AMOR MUNDI or THE LOVE OF THE WORLD
Hannah Arendt - Jaspers and Heidegger
"Amor Mundi" - the love of the world - was originally to be the title of Hannah Arendt's book "The Human Condition" ("Vita Activa"). It was love that held together the thinking of this philosopher and political theorist.
Drawing on letters and personal statements, the soirée traces the bonds between the two most important German philosophers of our century, Karl Jaspers and Martin Heidegger, and their student Hannah Arendt. Friendship, love affair and enmity unfold against the turbulent background of fifty years of German history, in which the Jewish question plays a decisive role.
