Resumen de 'I wrote it in part because of you': Broch and Arendt on human rights
This paper examines the influence that the Austrian writer and political activist Hermann Broch had on Hannah Arendt's ideas on human rights. By examining the correspondence between Broch and Arendt and comparing the two authors' writings on human rights, the paper argues that Broch gave general impulses that provoked Arendt's thinking on human rights and that Arendt is indebted to Broch in regard to some points of detail. It concludes, however, that Arendt did not derive her main theoretical innovations directly from Broch.
