Features: Supported by the "Foucault" Hundred Books Assistance Program of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the French Embassy in China. As a student and lover of Heidegger, Hannah Arendt had always been concerned with his works but eventually liberated herself from him, becoming a controversial yet indispensable political theorist. We will see how she listened to Heidegger's "Dasein" and replaced Heidegger's "Thrownness" with the exquisite technique of "appearance" in interpersonal relationships. "Appearance" reveals to each person their own indelible uniqueness, as we see in Arendt.
