THE THINKING HEART

Abstract

The text analyses the complex links between two prodigies of philosophy: Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt. This tie has been an example of the relationship between eros and logos. The significance of both authors has been growing in the last decades, especially that of Heidegger as a result of the spreading out of postmodernist tendencies. Arendt represents a type of intellectual very different in comparison with Heidegger. She studied the bonds between morals and politics, the great theme which was strange to Heidegger. In the election of issues, in the literary style and in her ethical convictions Hannah pursued own paths.
