L’obbligo di pensare.Una riflessione a partire da Hannah Arendt, Simone Weil e Jeanne Hersch

Before any claim of right, there are obligation and responsibility. First, we have an obligation towards ourselves. This fil rouge is detectable in the thinking of some female philosophers of the Twentieth Century, e.g. Simone Weil, Hannah Arendt and Jeanne Hersch. As a matter of fact, there is no thinking without any real relationship with ourselves. This deep conviction has direct implications for the political relevance of our capacity to think, which is one of the deepest expressions of our singularity amidst human plurality.
