The Freedom to Be Free
Hannah Arendt
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group
This lecture is a brilliant encapsulation of Arendt's widely influential arguments on revolution, and why the American Revolution&#8212;unlike all those preceding it&#8212;was uniquely able to install political freedom. <br>"The Freedom to be Free" was first published in <i>Thinking Without a Banister</i>, a varied collection of Arendt's essays, lectures, reviews, interviews, speeches, and editorials&#8212;which, taken together, manifest the relentless activity of her mind and character and contain within them the articulations of wide and sophisticated range of her political thought. <br>A Vintage Shorts Selection.
