First sentence: In her essay "Tradition and the Modern Age," Hannah Arendt (1969,25) introduces the metaphor of "turning operations" to help us visualize how Kierkegaard, Marx, and Nietzsche brought the tradition of political thought to an end in the nineteenth century, trying "desperately" to think against it while using its own conceptual tools.
