Thus her life spanned the tumultuous years of the twentieth century, as did her thought. She did not consider herself a philosopher, though she studied and maintained close relationships with two great philosophersKarl Jaspers and Martin Heideggerthroughout their lives. She was a thinker, in search not of metaphysical truth but of the meaning of appearances and events. She was a questioner rather than an answerer, and she wrote what she thought, principally to encourage others to think for themselves. Fearless of the consequences of thinking, Arendt found courage woven in each and every strand of human freedom.</p><p>In 1951 she published <em>The Origins of Totalitarianism,</em> in 1958 <em>The Human Condition,</em> in 1961 <em>Between Past and Future,</em> in 1963 <em>On Revolution</em> and <em>Eichmann in Jerusalem,</em> in 1968 <em>Men in Dark Times,</em> in 1970 <em>On Violence,</em> in 1972 <em>Crises of the Republic,</em> and in 1978, posthumously, <em>The Life of the Mind.</em> Starting at the turn of the twenty-first century, Schocken Books has published a series of collections of Arendts unpublished and uncollected writings, of which <em>Thinking Without a Banister</em> is the fifth volume.</p><p>The title refers to Arendts description of her experience of thinking, an activity she indulged without any of the traditional religious, moral, political, or philosophic pillars of support.
