Heines philosophisches Denken, das Denken eines wahrhaft "freien Geistes" und seine respektlos poetische Religiosität sollen, in enger Zusammenschau mit dem Bild seiner Persönlichkeit, in diesem Hörbuch besonders herausgestellt werden.

"Hätte Hegel seine ganze Logik geschrieben und im Vorwort gesagt, daß sie nur ein gedankliches Experiment sei, in welchem er sich obendrein an vielen Stellen vor etwas gedrückt hat, dann wäre er wohl der größte Denker gewesen, der jemals gelebt hat. Nun ist er nur komisch." Die Abneigung Kierkegaards gegen das Hegelsche System oder gegen Systematiker überhaupt stellt ihn in eine Linie mit verwandten Denkern "freien Geistes" - von den Gnostikern bis zu Nietzsche.

"Das Böse ist immer nur extrem, aber niemals radikal, es hat keine Tiefe, auch keine Dämonie. Es kann die ganze Welt verwüsten, gerade weil es wie ein Pilz an der Oberfläche weiterwuchert. Tief aber und radikal ist immer nur das Gute." (Hannah Arendt in einem Brief an Gershom Sholem) Dieser Satz, bei der Beschäftigung mit der Frage um die Natur des Bösen sicherlich von weitreichender Bedeutung, kennzeichnet auch die persönliche Peripetie und Befreiung der Autorin; er steht für Arendts Besinnung auf die Quellen ihres Grundvertrauens und die Entwicklung eines philosophischen Glaubens.
