This week we bring you a bonus episode! The first in a new series of engaging interviews and thought-provoking conversations between your host, Roger Berkowitz, and renowned scholars and public intellectuals - to supplement our close readings of Arendt's books!
In this premiere bonus conversation, Roger Berkowitz and Leon Botstein, President of Bard College, have an honest discussion about their personal experience with Hannah Arendt and why her work remains vitally important today. Their conversation spans Arendt’s use of speech as an instrument of thinking, to the recent culture around the war in Gaza on college campuses, to Arendt’s idea of affectionate patience.
Recorded in collaboration with Radio Kingston. Learn more about the work of the Hannah Arendt Center at Bard College.
