A pena e a penitência.

“exiled . . . all alone to a place where nothing could reach her, where she was cut off from all human things, from everything that men have the right to claim.” Avoiding that helpless “place” became the goal of Arendt’s life and thought. The categorical imperative of her political theory might be phrased: Thou shalt not be a shlemihl*."
