THE VISIONARIES: Arendt, Beauvoir, Rand, Weil, and the Power of Philosophy in Dark Times, by Wolfram Eilenberger. If hell is other people, then so, too, is this world. “Around us other people circled, pleasant, odious or ridiculous: They had no eyes with which to observe me. I alone could see.”It’s a quote that Wolfram Eilenberger uses to potent effect in “The Visionaries,” which traces the lives of four philosophers in the tumultuous decade before 1943. Beauvoir, Simone Weil, Hannah Arendt and Ayn Rand: Each addressed the foundational question of the relationship between the self and others, between “I” and “we,” only to arrive at wildly different conclusions.

In 2020, English-speaking readers got “Time of the Magicians: Wittgenstein, Benjamin, Cassirer, Heidegger and the Decade that Reinvented Philosophy,” a celebrated biography of the interwar period as seen by some of the biggest Teutons to take on the life of the mind. Now, the German writer is back with another Mount Rushmore of philosophy, translated by Shaun Whiteside. The ideological mash-up of Hannah Arendt, Simone de Beauvoir, Ayn Rand, and Simone Weil may seem oil and water, but their responses to the world around them helps Eilenberger illuminate a fateful decade — 1933 to 1943 — terrifying years for Europe and an eventful period for these monumental thinkers. Penguin Press, Aug. 8
