Well done! And you've done something that I'd like to steal: your summary of how you think about Arendt! I couldn't have described my own take on her better than what you've said. And, as you suggest, this could apply to a number of thinkers. BTW, the inside cover of my worn copy of THE HUMAN CONDITION shows that I purchased it on 12 October 1974, about two months after my wife & I were married. So I'll soon be marking the 50th anniversary of two important (but not equally important!) relationships this year.
Tracy,

Better be careful of that intellectual crush! 🤣 Congratulations on your anniversaries.
