    Hannah and Martin

    Hannah & Martin is a dramatized play about the fraught philosophical and romantic entanglement between Hannah Arendt and Martin Heidegger. Set against questions of being, truth, and ethics, it confronts the tension between Arendt’s Jewish identity and Heidegger’s Nazi affiliation. Stephen Vicchio uses their relationship to probe the moral stakes of ideas. Complementing the drama are essays exploring human suffering, love in classical and Christian traditions, and the ethical implications of philosophical thought—inviting readers to consider how personal history shapes morality and existence.
