Hannah and Martin - Stephen J. Vicchio
- Some Ontological and Moral Puzzles
Hannah and Martin brings to life the complex relationship between two towering figures of 20th-century philosophy: Hannah Arendt and Martin Heidegger. dramatized as a play, this work stages their philosophical and romantic entanglements set against the backdrop of significant philosophical questions about being, truth, and ethics. Stephen Vicchio uses their relationship, complicated by Heidegger's involvement with the Nazi party and Arendt's Jewish identity, to serve as a powerful narrative to explore these questions.
In addition to the play, several essays are included that dissect the philosophical and moral dilemmas presented in the drama. These essays cover a wide range of topics including the nature of human suffering, the complexities of love as discussed in classical and Christian traditions, and the ethical implications of philosophical thought.
Through its blend of drama and philosophical inquiry, Hannah ' Martin challenges the audience to reflect on the interplay between personal history and philosophical thought, and the ways in which this shapes our understanding of morality and existence.
