She wrote about power and terror, exile and love, and above all, about freedom. Questioning--thinking--was her first defense against tyranny. She advocated a politics of action and plurality, courage and, when necessary, disobedience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe Are Free to Change the World \u003c\/i\u003eis a book about the Arendt we need for the twenty-first century.
