Elisabeth Young-Bruehl, a practicing psychoanalyst and faculty member at the Columbia Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, speaks about her new book about German American political philosopher, Hannah Arendt, titled Why Arendt Matters (2006). Young-Bruehl received a PhD in Philosophy under Arendt’s supervision at the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research in 1974. She previously wrote a biography of Arendt, Hannah Arendt: For Love of the World (1982). In this lecture, Young-Bruehl speaks about Arendt’s early life in Germany, her immigration to the United States in 1941, and her career as an academic philosopher and political theorist. She describes Arendt’s first book, The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951), as "the most important and influential work of political theory of the mid-century." The lecture is followed with questions from the audience.
