Grete Hermann (1901-1984), brilliant philosopher of maths and quantum mechanics and first student of Emily Noether. Hermann was co-founder of the journal Ratio, and turned to political philosophy later in her career, writing in 1947:

Whoever lives in the Third Reich or otherwise comes to terms with it, but isolates themselves from the political events around them in order to occupy themselves with other, in themselves beautiful and worthy subjects, is lending their name and their work to this system. There is no neutrality towards the legal and cultural decline in public life. Whoever does not oppose it is complicit in it. Whatever beautiful and good things they may create otherwise are devalued by this participation in the social injustice with which it is burdened.

On defending edited collections, The Philosopher Queens remains the most significant piece of work I've done - I've been stopped on the street, in bookshops, and after talks by girls who say that it made them want to study philosophy. It's cited by very few people, but citations can't measure that!

from E. Wilson’s essay “ In these times of hatred and misinformation, we need more than the “apparent magic” of deceptive images. We need art that is truthful about the costs and the necessity of compassion, and that recognizes that a sense of spiritual superiority may not protect us from lies.”

For folks interested in Rawls’s views about this, I would modestly suggest checking out my paper “Ideal Theory after Auschwitz? The Practical Uses and Ideological Abuses of Political Theory as Reconciliation” in the Joirnal of Politics www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1...

Abstract
Contemporary debates about ideal and nonideal theory rest on an underlying consensus that the primary practical task of political theory is directing action. This overlooks other urgent practical work that theory can do, including showing how injustice can be made bearable and how resisting it can be meaningful. I illustrate this important possibility by revisiting the purpose for which John Rawls originally developed the concept of ideal theory: reconciling a democratic public to living in a flawed world that may otherwise seem more of a home for catastrophe than justice. However, Rawls's account of reconciliation is flawed; because of his methodology, the realistic utopia he constructs as a source of hope can be used to defend an unjust status quo. By drawing lessons from Theodor Adorno's contrasting view of reconciliation after the Holocaust, I offer a more democratic method for political theory to offer sources of hope to the public.
