In the Brandeis Justice, reading the Arendt-Heidegger correspondence.

To begin the post-reading discussion, Hill said that the relationship with Heidegger “played a very large role in the life and work” of Arendt, but that because Heidegger prioritized his work and his wife over Arendt, a “gap” always existed between them.
