VRG: On Revolution Ep.#10, "Foundation II: Novus Ordo Saeclorum"

Описание: This is an introduction to "Foundation II: Novus Ordo Saeclorum" from Hannah Arendt's On Revolution, by Director Roger Berkowitz for the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College

WHO IS HANNAH ARENDT?
Hannah Arendt was a humanist thinker who thought boldly and provocatively about our shared political and ethical world. Inspired by philosophy, she warned against the political dangers of philosophy to abstract and obfuscate the plurality and reality of our shared world. She fiercely defended the importance of the public sphere, but she was also intensely private and defended the importance of privacy and solitude as prerequisites for a life in public. Embraced by liberals and conservatives, she also enraged and engaged interlocutors from all political persuasions.

WHAT IS THE VIRTUAL READING GROUP?
The Virtual Reading Group is an online, scholarly, collaborative exploration of the works of Hannah Arendt. During the coronavirus pandemic, the VRG, as we call it, has grown with new members from around the world. We gather to talk and to listen while closely reading texts on issues like totalitarianism, democracy, privacy, extremism, and the importance of public spaces for debate and resolution.

The VRG is hosted by the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College, the world's most expansive home for bold and risky humanities thinking about our political world inspired by the spirit of Hannah Arendt, the leading thinker of politics and active citizenship in the modern era.

HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE?
