Summary

"A soaring intellectual narrative starring the radical, brilliant, and provocative philosophers Simone de Beauvoir, Hannah Arendt, Simone Weil, and Ayn Rand by the critically acclaimed author of Time of the Magicians, Wolfram Eilenberger. The Visionaries tells the story of four singular philosophers--indomitable women who were refugees and resistance fighters--each putting forward a vision of a truly free and open society at a time of authoritarianism and war"--, Provided by publisher
