Rachel and Her Mother: Or, the Public Trial of Martin Heidegger

A play in two actsFor Heidegger the question "What is BEING?" is not only the most important question a philosopher can ask, it can only be grasped by THINKING it. Hannah Arendt, an 18-year-old student of Heidegger, is seduced by him. Rachel, a character, student, and intellectual partner of Hannah in the Play correctly says "I'm no match for the most metaphysical of men, Mama. He is holding the door open. Evil is not through with us."
