  • I was lucky enough to come into contact with the work of Hannah Arendt as an adult, intellectually mature and with time to read and reflect on her books. Over the last 15 years she has become more and more important to me as an indispensable reference for observing politics, reflecting on international conflicts, and even thinking about Law as a broader and more complex phenomenon than I traditionally thought of. Repositioning Hannah Arend's thinking in a world that is rapidly changing as a result of the internet has been a task that I greatly appreciate. The intellectual versatility and great erudition of this great thinker is truly admirable.

    Wow, so brilliant, so apt and timely too — thank you very much for posting. Accomplishes so much in the way of the political ends that the French, thinking of Derrida here, would claim but then drown in navel-gazing, willful obscurantism, and defeatism. Very powerful. Thanks again.

    Wow this is one of the greatest lectures I've ever heard. Arendt really illuminates the connection between thinking and meaning in a way I haven't quite heard from others. Profoundly important.
  • And she insisted she wasn't a philosopher. So what are philosophers supposed to talk about? ❤️

    Along with the philosophy, I also hear the deciliated respiratory tract epithelia crying for help.

    It needs to get subtitled. This Wonderful Thinker speaks English with German "in her tongue and heart".

    Who knew we'd see the banality of evil in pur friends and family the last 4-7 years. History is going to get pretty bumpy the next decade.
  • The banality & sanctity of Good & Evil—this is Holism or Non-duality in Buddhism. 🙏🏻😊
  • How does she know whether or not the evil of e.g. Eichmann was NOT demonic? Is there a way to find out or is she just assuming?

    Hannah Arendt's accent makes it difficult for me to follow. An accompanying transcript would be helpful. A video would also be better than just voice. She is an important voice, though I found her book that I read, difficult, the German run on sentences are hard to follow.
