From Ayn Rand's libertarianism that influenced Alan Greenspan to Simone Weil's mysticism, their competing visions of freedom and responsibility still ignite passionate debate today.

Four women sit at separate desks across Europe and America in 1943. One starves herself in a London hospital bed, writing feverishly about grace. Another dynamites buildings on paper in New York, celebrating the sovereignty of genius. A third teaches Hegel to students in Nazi-occupied Paris, quietly building a philosophy of mutual liberation. The fourth researches the anatomy of totalitarianism in Manhattan, documenting how systems turn humans into things. They've never met as a group, yet they're engaged in the same urgent work-redefining what it means to be human when the world seems determined to erase that meaning entirely. Hannah Arendt, Simone de Beauvoir, Ayn Rand, and Simone Weil didn't choose philosophy as a career path. Philosophy chose them, forced upon them by exile, occupation, and the collapse of civilization itself. Picture Germany in 1933. Engineers rent chairs in public gardens. Elderly men in bowler hats beg at subway exits. Nearly half the working class sits idle while political factions tear each other apart instead of confronting the rising Nazi threat. For Hannah Arendt, the breaking point came during breakfast near Berlin's Alexanderplatz when the Gestapo arrested her and her mother. Though released the same day, Arendt understood: there was no future here, at least not for people like her. She escaped through a house with a front door in Germany and a back door in Czechoslovakia-what refugees called "the classic route." By summer, 40,000 had fled, 20,000 reaching Paris.
