“From different angles, the different contributions convincingly evince why it is crucial to distinguish liberation from the practice of freedom without losing sight of how intimately intertwined the two are. The editor has successfully been able to create a unity out of the individual contributions … . this is a highly readable anthology for anyone interested in the political thought of Arendt as well as in contemporary political theory more generally.” (Tomas Wedin, HannahArendt.net, Vol. 10 (1), December, 2020)
