Abstract:
The friendship between Arendt and Jaspers, and the recent publication of their correspondence spanning the years 1926-1969, provides a highly sophisticated documentation of "the German-Jewish dialogue" at its points of a great crisis and a radical reassessment. From the formative years of their relationship (as professor and student) in the mid-Weimar years to its post-1945 maturation, as the proportions of the National Socialist catastrophe became apparent, this was essentially a "dialogue amid the deluge", shaped by the urge to grasp its nature and consequences.
