She emigrated in 1941 to the USA and received her B.A. from Brooklyn College in 1950, her M.A. in classics from Yale University in 1951, and her Ph.D. in archaeology from Yale in 1956. She also holds an Honorary Doctorate from Middlebury College. Vermont.
She obtained a faculty position at St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland, in 1957, and in her early years there was very close to her colleague, the philosopher Jacob Klein. After Prof. Klein's death, Prof. Brann increasingly assumed his role as the defining figure of St. John's College and the Great Books program.
She is the longest-serving member of the faculty and previously served as dean of the college.

Brann illuminates and injects with many meanings the surviving fragments of Heraclitus. It took awhile to get into the linguistic circumscription philosophical technique being used, but in the end it does seem warranted. Whether Heraclitus actually meant for Logos to play the role of stable opposition and unifier of ratios or it is just Brann telling that story through his fragments is secondary to the fact that this is a deep meditative reading.

Instead of denying the flux (change, agonism, strife) that is at the core of Heraclitus' fragments, she could have pushed Hegel's conclusions further, and found Heraclitus' true descendant in Adorno and his Negative Dialectics, which does not seek to reconcile opposites into an untrue unity.… (plus d'informations)
