Abstract

María Zambrano and Hannah Arendt were very nearly the same age and experienced similar historical and life circumstances—war and dictatorship in their countries of origin, exile, and a career in writing that included political writing. Zambrano considered the interior of the person in her study of democracy, while Arendt focused on exterior phenomena such as the masses in her consideration of totalitarianism.
