Hannah Arendt è stata una politologa, filosofa e storica tedesca naturalizzata statunitense nel 1937. Nata di origine ebraica, fuggì dalla Germania nazista nel 1933 a causa delle persecuzioni e rimase apolide fino al 1951 quando ottenne la cittadinanza statunitense. Durante la sua carriera, ha lavorato come giornalista, docente universitaria e ha scritto importanti opere di filosofia politica. Tuttavia, è importante notare che Arendt preferiva essere considerata una teorica politica piuttosto che una filosofa, rifiutando sempre di essere inserita in questa categoria specifica.
