En els últims temps, moltes veus han comparat la situació actual amb la dècada del 1930, un període marcat per l'ascens del totalitarisme. Aquesta comparació porta Iu Escape a reflexionar sobre les similituds i diferències entre els règims totalitaris històrics i els fenòmens polítics contemporanis. Per entendre aquesta qüestió, l'obra d'Hannah Arendt, filòsofa alemanya jueva exiliada, ofereix claus valuoses.Arendt, en el seu llibre Els orígens del totalitarisme, destaca que el totalitarisme va més enllà de la simple dictadura. Mentre que ambdues formes de govern autoritàries comparteixen trets com el lideratge absolut, l'adoctrinament i la supressió de llibertats, el totalitarisme inclou elements específics com el complot i el terror.Arendt assenyala que els règims totalitaris sovint es basen en la creació de relats de complot, on es designa un enemic imaginari (com els jueus als anys 30) per justificar les seves accions. Aquesta estratègia busca dividir la societat i generar por.El terror és l'eina principal del totalitarisme. No només es dirigeix contra els opositors polítics, sinó que també busca crear un ambient de sospita generalitzada. Això porta a la desconfiança mútua i la fragmentació social.Un dels conceptes més influents d'Arendt és la “banalitat del mal”. Segons ella, els grans crims contra la humanitat no són comesos necessàriament per monstres o psicòpates, sinó per persones normals que actuen sense qüestionar les ordres. Aquesta manca de pensament crític i de responsabilitat individual és el que permet que els sistemes totalitaris prosperin.Aquesta idea és especialment rellevant avui en dia. En un món on moltes persones es limiten a “fer el seu treball” sense questionar les conseqüències ètiques, el risc de deshumanització i de suport a sistemes opressius és latent.Arendt defensa que la clau per combatre el totalitarisme és el pensament crític i l'acció col·lectiva. Les persones han de qüestionar les ordres i les normes, i assumir la responsabilitat de les seves accions. Això requereix una educació que fomenti el pensament independent i la participació activa en la vida pública.En aquest sentit, el consumisme i el mercantilisme actuals, que prioritzaven el benefici econòmic sobre els valors ètics, poden ser vistos com a factors que contribueixen a la deshumanització i, per extensió, al ressorgiment de tendències totalitàries.

Conférence donnée par Annaëlle Mehr, formatrice à Nouvelle Acropole Paris V,le 12 mars 2025 à l'Espace Mouneyra, Bordeaux.Se cultiver n'est pas consommer de la culture. C'est utiliser sa pensée comme un outil de construction intérieure et d'action dans la société.H. Arendt nous explique que la pensée n'est pas une question d'intelligence mais de courage. Penser c'est aller au-delà du prêt à penser, c'est sortir de ses zones de désintérêt.******Saviez vous que Nouvelle Acropole est réalisée à 100% par des bénévoles ?

Benjamin P. Davis's Choose Your Bearing: Édouard Glissant, Human Rights and Decolonial Ethics (Edinburgh University Press 2025) provides one of the first readings, in English or French, of Édouard Glissant as an ethical theorist. What do we in the West owe those who grow our food, sew our clothes and produce our electronics? And what have we always owed one another, but forgotten, avoided, or simply disregarded? Looking back on nearly a century of colonial war and genocide, in 1990 the poet and philosopher Édouard Glissant appealed directly to his readers, calling them to re-orient their lives in service of the political struggles of their time: ‘You must choose your bearing.' Informed by the prayer camps at Standing Rock, and presenting Glissant alongside Stuart Hall, Emmanuel Levinas, Simone Weil, Enrique Dussel, Gloria Anzaldúa and W. E. B. Du Bois, this book offers an urgent ethics for the present – an ethics of risk, commitment and care that together form a new sense of decolonial responsibility. A sequel to the book, Another Humanity: Decolonial Ethics from Du Bois to Arendt, is forthcoming this year. Benjamin P. Davis is an Assistant Professor of Africana Studies and Hispanic Studies at Texas A&M University and a Fellow at the Center on Modernity in Transition. He is the author of Simone Weil's Political Philosophy: Field Notes from the Margins (Rowman & Littlefield 2023) as well as Choose Your Bearing: Édouard Glissant, Human Rights, and Decolonial Ethics (2023) and a sequel, Another Humanity: Decolonial Ethics from Du Bois to Arendt (2025), both published by Edinburgh University Press.

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter is carrying on the conversation about masculinity redefined and the strength of empathy and connection. Our vision is about being inclusive, emotionally intelligent and being deeply conncected to others, he will challenge those traditional myths that don't serve us anymore and about how patriarchial conditioning shaping how we think about manhood. He will show us how to look at masculinity from a different perspective. Gunter will tie it all back to the core principals of the Making Good Men Great movement and framework. Its about helping men to just getting by but truly being fulfilled. We start the episode with a quote:"What prepares men for totalitarian domination in the non-totalitarian world is the fact that loneliness, once a borderline experience usually suffered in certain marginal social conditions like old age, has become an everyday experience …" – From The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) by Hannah ArendtMs. Arendt wrote that in 1951, it seems as if she had a looking glass into the future as we can how things are today.DON'T FORGET to join LEGENDS OF POWER SWOBODA-JOSEPHSON VIP Inner Circle.

In der heutigen Folge spricht Gudrun Schönhofer über den Perspektivwechsel – ein Thema, das nicht nur philosophisch und psychologisch, sondern auch gesellschaftlich und politisch höchst relevant ist. Ein Perspektivwechsel bedeutet, eine Situation oder Überzeugung aus einer anderen Sichtweise zu betrachten – ohne dabei gleich die eigene Meinung aufzugeben. Gudrun beleuchtet, wie unsere Wahrnehmung durch Prägungen, Erfahrungen und gesellschaftliche Narrative beeinflusst wird und warum gerade in polarisierten Zeiten Empathie und Toleranz der Schlüssel zu mehr Miteinander sind.
Wat is hoop en hebben we het nog wel in deze onrustige tijden? Is het een naïeve illusie of een noodzakelijke kracht op moment van crisis? In haar nieuwste boek 'Tijd is Hoop' duikt dr. Joke Hermsen in de filosofische traditie en haalt ze Arendt, Bloch en Nietzsche aan om deze vraag te beantwoorden. Kan hoop ons tot actie aanzetten, of maakt het ons passief? En hoe verhoudt hoop zich tot de tijdgeest waarin pessimisme de boventoon voert? Tijd is hoop van Joke J. Hermsen: https://www.singeluitgeverijen.nl/de-arbeiderspers/boek/tijd-is-hoop/ (https://www.singeluitgeverijen.nl/de-arbeiderspers/boek/tijd-is-hoop/)
Marilyn Nissim-Sabat and Neil Roberts have edited a new collection of essays, Creolizing Hannah Arendt. This edited volume dives into Hannah Arendt's thinking while also pushing the understanding and ways that Arendt has influenced political theory, philosophy, and politics. The idea of “creolizing,” especially philosophic or theoretical work, is to explore a thinker's work from more pluralistic perspectives, often pushing the ideas and their analysis beyond the northern and western position in which that work was generally created. Arendt's work, which comes to us in a number of forms, was written in the context of the Holocaust and the world before and after that trauma. The contributing authors to Creolizing Hannah Arendt build on Arendt's considerations and analysis, taking and applying her work to other situations, to determine what we can learn in a distinct situation or in context of other theoretical frameworks. Creolizing is an engagement where two or more elements come into discourse with each other, rethinking the ways those in western political thought are positioned, or see the world. This process questions, on some level, the entire notion of the “canon” and the design of borders that hem in thinking, or disciplinary lines. Creolizing Hannah Arendt is a sophisticated collection of essays that brings forth Hannah Arendt's thinking about freedom and individuals while also integrating other theorists who have interpreted Arendt's work over the last century. Arendt focused some of her early work on the notion of being an outsider, of having a kind of double consciousness (for her, it was her Jewish identity in Europe during the Holocaust and afterwards in the United States.) But double consciousness was originally posited as an understanding and perspective by W.E.B. Dubois and Sylvia Wynter in their work, specifically the experience of African Americans, and that Paget Henry analyzes in the chapter “Sylvia Wynter, Political Philosophy, and the Creolization of Hannah Arendt.” Thus, putting these ideas in conversation with each other is an example of creolization, and an example of the kind of analysis in this edited volume. This is a fascinating book, opening up spheres of thinking not just about Arendt, but about so many other important theorists. And putting these ideas into conversation with each other. Creolizing Hannah Arendt does not intend to proselytize on behalf of Hannah Arendt, as Nissim-Sabat and Roberts note in our conversation, but to truly interact act with Arendt's thinking and her ideas about freedom and unfreedom, double consciousness, revolution, and the concept of humanity.

Discerning happiness versus joy is where Angie starts, as we wrestle with these big questions. “But happiness is a short-lived drug when it comes from outside of us,” she reminds us. And we meander from there, landing in a formula of “love is a noun and a verb + begin again + community” as one tonic for getting through these perilous times.I hope you enjoy this wee chat.

Hello Interactors,From election lies to climate denial, misinformation isn't just about deception — it's about making truth feel unknowable. Fact-checking can't keep up, and trust in institutions is fading. If reality is up for debate, where does that leave us?I wanted to explore this idea of “post-truth” and ways to move beyond it — not by enforcing truth from the top down, but by engaging in inquiry and open dialogue. I examine how truth doesn't have to be imposed but continually rediscovered — shaped through questioning, testing, and refining what we know. If nothing feels certain, how do we rebuild trust in the process of knowing something is true?THE SLOW SLIDE OF FACTUAL FOUNDATIONSThe term "post-truth" was first popularized in the 1990s but took off in 2016. That's when Oxford Dictionaries named it their Word of the Year. Defined as “circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief”, the term reflects a shift in how truth functions in public discourse.Though the concept of truth manipulation is not new, post-truth represents a systemic weakening of shared standards for knowledge-making. Sadly, truth in the eyes of most of the public is no longer determined by factual verification but by ideological alignment and emotional resonance.The erosion of truth infrastructure — once upheld by journalism, education, and government — has destabilized knowledge credibility. Mid-20th-century institutions like The New York Times and the National Science Foundation ensured rigorous verification. But with rising political polarization, digital misinformation, and distrust in authority, these institutions have lost their stabilizing role, leaving truth increasingly contested rather than collectively affirmed.The mid-20th century exposed truth's fragility as propaganda reshaped public perception. Nazi ideology co-opted esoteric myths like the Vril Society, a fictitious occult group inspired by the 1871 novel The Coming Race, which depicted a subterranean master race wielding a powerful life force called "Vril." This myth fed into Nazi racial ideology and SS occult research, prioritizing myth over fact. Later, as German aviation advanced, the Vril myth evolved into UFO conspiracies, claiming secret Nazi technologies stemmed from extraterrestrial contact and Vril energy, fueling rumors of hidden Antarctic bases and breakaway civilizations.Distorted truths have long justified extreme political action, demonstrating how knowledge control sustains authoritarianism. Theodor Adorno and Hannah Arendt, Jewish-German intellectuals who fled the Nazis, later warned that even democracies are vulnerable to propaganda. Adorno (1951) analyzed how mass media manufactures consent, while Arendt (1972) showed how totalitarian regimes rewrite reality to maintain control.Postwar skepticism, civil rights movements, and decolonization fueled academic critiques of traditional, biased historical narratives. By the late 20th century, universities embraced theories questioning the stability of truth, labeled postmodernist, critical, and constructivist.Once considered a pillar of civilization, truth was reframed by French postmodernist philosophers Michel Foucault and Jean Baudrillard as a construct of power. Foucault argued institutions define truth to reinforce authority, while Baudrillard claimed modern society had replaced reality with media-driven illusions. While these ideas exposed existing power dynamics in academic institutions, they also fueled skepticism about objective truth — paving the way for today's post-truth crisis. Australian philosophy professor, Catherine (Cathy) Legg highlights how intellectual and cultural shifts led universities to question their neutrality, reinforcing postmodern critiques that foreground subjectivity, discourse, and power in shaping truth. Over time, this skepticism extended beyond academia, challenging whether any authority could claim objectivity without reinforcing existing power structures.These efforts to deconstruct dominant narratives unintentionally legitimized radical relativism — the idea that all truths hold equal weight, regardless of evidence or logic. This opened the door for "alternative facts", now weaponized by propaganda. What began as a challenge to authoritarian knowledge structures within academia escaped its origins, eroding shared standards of truth. In the post-truth era, misinformation, ideological mythmaking, and conspiracy theories thrive by rejecting objective verification altogether.Historian Naomi Oreskes describes "merchants of doubt" as corporate and political actors who manufacture uncertainty to obstruct policy and sustain truth relativism. By falsely equating expertise with opinion, they create the illusion of debate, delaying action on climate change, public health, and social inequities while eroding trust in science. In this landscape, any opinion can masquerade as fact, undermining those who dedicate their lives to truth-seeking.PIXELS AND MYTHOLOGY SHAPE THE GEOGRAPHYThe erosion of truth infrastructures has accelerated with digital media, which both globalizes misinformation and reinforces localized silos of belief. This was evident during COVID-19, where false claims — such as vaccine microchips — spread widely but took deeper root in communities with preexisting distrust in institutions. While research confirms that misinformation spreads faster than facts, it's still unclear if algorithmic amplification or deeper socio-political distrust are root causes.This ideological shift is strongest in Eastern Europe and parts of the U.S., where institutional distrust and digital subcultures fuel esoteric nationalism. Post-Soviet propaganda, economic instability, and geopolitical tensions have revived alternative knowledge systems in Russia, Poland, and the Balkans, from Slavic paganism to the return of the Vril myth, now fused with the Save Europe movement — a digital blend of racial mysticism, ethnic nostalgia, and reactionary politics.Above ☝️is a compilation of TikTok videos currently being pushed to my 21 year old son. They fuse ordinary, common, and recognizable pop culture imagery with Vril imagery (like UFO's and stealth bombers) and esoteric racist nationalism, religious fundamentalism, and hyper-masculine mythologies. A similar trend appears in post-industrial and rural America, where economic decline, government distrust, and cultural divides sustain conspiratorial thinking, religious fundamentalism, and hyper-masculine mythologies. The alt-right manosphere mirrors Eastern Europe's Vril revival, with figures like Zyzz and Bronze Age Pervert offering visions of lost strength. Both Vril and Save Europe frame empowerment as a return to ethnic or esoteric power (Vril) or militant resistance to diversity (Save Europe), turning myth into a tool of political radicalization.Climate change denial follows these localized patterns, where scientific consensus clashes with economic and cultural narratives. While misinformation spreads globally, belief adoption varies, shaped by economic hardship, institutional trust, and political identity.In coal regions like Appalachia and Poland, skepticism stems from economic survival, with climate policies seen as elitist attacks on jobs. In rural Australia, extreme weather fuels conspiracies about government overreach rather than shifting attitudes toward climate action. Meanwhile, in coastal Louisiana and the Netherlands, where climate impacts are immediate and undeniable, denial is rarer, though myths persist, often deflecting blame from human causes.Just as Vril revivalism, Save Europe, and the MAGA manosphere thrive on post-industrial uncertainty, climate misinformation can also flourish in economically vulnerable regions. Digital platforms fuel a worldview skewed, where scrolling myths and beliefs are spatially glued — a twisted take on 'think globally, act locally,' where fantasy folklore becomes fervent ideology.FINDING TRUTH WITH FRACTURED FACTS…AND FRIENDSThe post-truth era has reshaped how we think about knowledge. The challenge isn't just misinformation but growing distrust in expertise, institutions, and shared reality. In classrooms and research, traditional ways of proving truth often fail when personal belief outweighs evidence. Scholars and educators now seek new ways to communicate knowledge, moving beyond rigid certainty or radical relativism.Professor Legg has turned to the work of 19th-century American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce, whose ideas about truth feel surprisingly relevant today. Peirce didn't see truth as something fixed or final but as a process — something we work toward through questioning, testing, and refining our understanding over time.His approach, known as pragmatism, emphasizes collaborative inquiry, self-correction, and fallibilism — the idea that no belief is ever beyond revision. In a time when facts are constantly challenged, Peirce's philosophy offers not just a theory of truth, but a process for rebuilding trust in knowledge itself.For those unfamiliar with Peirce and American pragmatism, a process that requires collaborating with truth deniers may seem not only unfun, but counterproductive. But research on deradicalization strategies suggests that confrontational debunking (a failed strategy Democrats continue to adhere to) often backfires. Lecturing skeptics only reinforces belief entrenchment.In the early 1700's Britain was embroiled in the War of Spanish Succession. Political factions spread blatant falsehoods through partisan newspapers. It prompted Jonathan Swift, the author of Gulliver's Travels, to observe in The Art of Political Lying (1710) that"Reasoning will never make a man correct an ill opinion, which by reasoning he never acquired."This is likely where we get the more familiar saying: you can't argue someone out of a belief they didn't reason themselves into. Swift's critique of propaganda and public gullibility foreshadowed modern research on cognitive bias. People rarely abandon deeply held beliefs when confronted with facts.Traditionally, truth is seen as either objectively discoverable (classical empiricism) — like physics — or constructed by discourse and power (postmodernism) — like the Lost Cause myth, which recast the Confederacy as noble rather than pro-slavery. It should be noted that traditional truth also comes about by paying for it. Scientific funding from private sources often dictates which research is legitimized. As Legg observes,“Ironically, such epistemic assurance perhaps rendered educated folk in the modern era overly gullible to the written word as authority, and the resulting ‘fetishisation' of texts in the education sector has arguably led to some of our current problems.”Peirce, however, offered a different path:truth is not a fixed thing, but an eventual process of consensus reached by a community of inquirers.It turns out open-ended dialogue that challenges inconsistencies within a belief system is shown to be a more effective strategy.This process requires time, scrutiny, and open dialogue. None of which are very popular these days! It should be no surprise that in today's fractured knowledge-making landscape of passive acceptance of authority or unchecked personal belief, ideological silos reinforce institutional dogma or blatant misinformation. But Peirce's ‘community of inquiry' model suggests that truth can't be lectured or bought but strengthened through collective reasoning and self-correction.Legg embraces this model because it directly addresses why knowledge crises emerge and how they can be countered. The digital age has resulted in a world where beliefs are reinforced within isolated networks rather than tested against broader inquiry. Trump or Musk can tweet fake news and it spreads to millions around the world instantaneously.During Trump's 2016 campaign, false claims that Pope Francis endorsed him spread faster than legitimate news. Misinformation, revisionist history, and esoteric nationalism thrive in these unchecked spaces.Legg's approach to critical thinking education follows Peirce's philosophy of inquiry. She helps students see knowledge not as fixed truths but as a network of interwoven, evolving understandings — what Peirce called an epistemic cable made up of many small but interconnected fibers. Rather than viewing the flood of online information as overwhelming or deceptive, she encourages students to see it as a resource to be navigated with the right tools and the right intent.To make this practical, she introduces fact-checking strategies used by professionals, teaching students to ask three key questions when evaluating an online source:* Who is behind this information? (Identifying the author's credibility and possible biases)* What is the evidence for their claims? (Assessing whether their argument is supported by verifiable facts)* What do other sources say about these claims? (Cross-referencing to see if the information holds up in a broader context)By practicing these habits, students learn to engage critically with digital content. It strengthens their ability to distinguish reliable knowledge from misinformation rather than simply memorizing facts. It also meets them where they are without judgement of whatever beliefs they may hold at the time of inquiry.If post-truth misinformation reflects a shift in how we construct knowledge, can we ever return to a shared trust in truth — or even a shared reality? As institutional trust erodes, fueled by academic relativism, digital misinformation, and ideological silos, myths like climate denial and Vril revivalism take hold where skepticism runs deep. Digital platforms don't just spread misinformation; they shape belief systems, reinforcing global echo chambers.But is truth lost, or just contested? Peirce saw truth as a process, built through inquiry and self-correction. Legg extends this, arguing that fact-checking alone won't solve post-truth; instead, we need a culture of questioning — where people test their own beliefs rather than being told what's right or wrong.I won't pretend to have the answer. You can tell by my bibliography that I'm a fan of classical empiricism. But I'm also a pragmatic interactionist who believes knowledge is refined through collaborative inquiry. I believe, as Legg does, that to move beyond post-truth isn't about the impossible mission of defeating misinformation — it's about making truth-seeking more compelling than belief. Maybe even fun.What do you think? This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit interplace.io
Langs die kus van die Oos-Kaap, waar die Swartkopsrivier sy sout water in die see uitstort, lê 'n storie gewortel in die aarde, die see, en die hande van mense. Dit is die verhaal van Swartkops-seesout – 'n natuurlike skat wat met geduld en sorg geskep word. Jacques Arendt neem jou op 'n reis na hierdie unieke plek, waar tradisie, natuur, en gemeenskap hand aan hand gaan. Seesout het al vir eeue 'n belangrike rol gespeel in die geskiedenis van Swartkops. Die inheemse bewoners was die eerste mense wat sout as 'n waardevolle hulpbron gebruik het. Hulle het dit nie net gebruik om kos te geur nie, maar ook as middel om voedsel te preserveer.
Bonnie Honig embodies the public intellectual like few others. With her funny and fine-edged essays analyzing Trump's shock politics, the significance of Stranger Things' popularity, and feminist resources for defending democracy. At the same time, she is one of the world's foremost democratic theorists, combining sources as diverse as Nietzsche, Arendt, Rousseau, Lars von Trier, 12 Angry Men, Antigone and gothic romance novels in her writings on democracy.One of the major themes of her work is how contestation, rather than consensus, should be central in a democracy. She is a founding thinker of the agonistic democratic movement, driving its inspiration from the ancient Greek culture's emphasis on the agon, for struggle. In recent work she explores how ‘public things', like education, national parks and healthcare, are a precondition for democracy – but are often under pressure from privatization and neoliberalism.Tonight, Honig enters into conversation with Arnon Grunberg. They will talk about public things, emergency and shock politics, her feminist interpretations of Hannah Arendt and democracy in disrepair. Bastiaan Rijpkema, who wrote an introduction to the first Dutch translation of one of Honig's works: Publieke dingen, will introduce the evening.In collaboration with Leiden University.Check out the privacy notice on https://art19.com/privacy and the privacy statement of California on https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today host Lisa Dettmer spends the hour talking to Professor Lida Maxwell, the author of the new book out by Stanford press called “ Rachel Carson and the Power of Queer love.” Rachel Carson, for those of you who may not know, is considered one of the progenitors of the mainstream environmental movement who garnered major public attention in 1964 with her best selling book “Silent Spring.” But Lida Maxwell argues that Rachel Carson was not only a brilliant inspiring writer and lover of nature but a queer woman whose love of nature and great love with Dorothy Freedman was a model of how we can move beyond consumptive straight Capitalist desire to a relational horizontal co-creative love and wonder, a love of both human and non-human life, a Queer love. Maxwell sees Carson's horizontal non domineering love of nature not unlike the indigenous respect for all life that now informs much of our current environmental movement. And she asks Can this love of human and non-human life serve as a basis of our political movement that is based not on fear or a love that is anthropomorphic, individualistic, a commodified love but on a real love, an infinite love, based on mutuality and respect and a queer joy. And, she argues, this model of love can help us remember that our intimate lives matter in how we live and create our vision of the world we want to see. Lida Maxwell is the Associate Professor of Political Science and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Boston University. She is the author of Insurgent “Truth and Public Trials: Burke, Zola, Arendt the Politics of Lost Causes,” and “For Chelsea Manning, Coming Out and Whistleblowing Were Deeply Linked” The post Rachel Carson- Queer Love with Lida Maxwell appeared first on KPFA.

In this episode of Madison's Notes, we sit down with Lindsay Stonebridge, author of We Are Free to Change the World: Hannah Arendt's Lessons in Love and Disobedience (Hogarth, 2024) to explore the enduring relevance of Hannah Arendt's thought. Stonebridge dives into Arendt's remarkable ability to teach students how to think, not just what to think, and reflects on Arendt's own intellectual journey—a mind in constant dialogue with itself. We discuss how Arendt's conception of thinking serves as a powerful resistance to totalitarian ideologies, emphasizing the importance of critical engagement with the world. Stonebridge also unpacks Arendt's belief in the necessity of natality—the idea that cultures open to new beginnings and the emergence of free individuals are essential for societal evolution. Central to Arendt's vision of political community are the concepts of promises and forgiveness, which Stonebridge argues are not mere sentimental ideals but profound, deeply rooted principles with origins in Christian thought. Together, we examine how these ideas form the basis of a political community grounded in plurality, offering a timely framework for understanding freedom, responsibility, and the possibility of change in our world today.

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: Romanos 9:1-5 Plano De Leitura Anual: Gênesis 31–32; Mateus 9:18-38 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: A filósofa e autora Hannah Arendt (1906–75) observou: “Houve pessoas que resistiram aos monarcas mais poderosos, recusando-se a prostrar-se diante deles. Mas poucos resistiram à multidão, solitárias diante do povo mal orientado, encarando desarmadas sua fúria implacável”. Sendo alemã de origem judia, Arendt observou de perto, no início do século 20, o pavor que as pessoas têm de serem rejeitadas pelo grupo. O apóstolo Paulo vivenciou tal rejeição. Ele havia estudado para ser rabino e fariseu, mas sua vida virou de cabeça para baixo quando ele encontrou o Cristo ressurreto. Paulo estava a caminho de Damasco para perseguir aqueles que criam em Cristo (ATOS 9). Após sua conversão, Paulo foi rejeitado pelo seu próprio povo. Na carta de 2 Coríntios, o apóstolo comenta sobre alguns dos sofrimentos que eles lhe causaram, como espancamentos e prisões (6:5). Ao invés de reagir com raiva ou amargura, Paulo desejava que os seus também conhecessem a Jesus. Ele escreveu: “Meu coração está cheio de amarga tristeza e angústia sem fim por meu povo, meus irmãos judeus. Eu estaria disposto a ser amaldiçoado para sempre, separado de Cristo, se isso pudesse salvá-los” (ROMANOS 9:2-3). Que nós, que já fomos aceitos na família de Deus, possamos convidar até os nossos adversários para conhecerem o Senhor. Por: Bill Crowder

Despite millions retiring annually, the topic remains taboo for many employers and employees. Every year, millions leave the workforce, yet discussions about this common rite of passage are often avoided.This INSEAD Knowledge podcast features Graham Ward, Adjunct Professor of Organisational Behaviour and Isabel Lebbe, Partner in the Investment Management practice of Arendt & Medernach, discussing the often-neglected issue of retirement.Drawing on years of research in this field, the pair highlight the significant impact that retirement can have on both individuals and the organisations they leave behind. They point out that retirement should not merely be seen an event but is, in fact, a complex process that requires careful consideration and planning from both sides. Ward and Lebbe argue that with an ageing population, changing demographics also mean firms need to stop viewing retirement as an end. Instead, they must view it as a valuable opportunity to maintain relationships and leverage the experience of retiring employees to ensure a positive experience for all involved.

We meander around beginning again, around little monsters that join us when we engage in a meditation or a “sit,” around what Advent offers to us as we prepare for the coming holidays… It's a nice complement to my solo meander from last week, and I hope you'll listen to these both in that understanding.December, at least in the northern hemisphere where we live, gets increasingly dark, the days, shorter, until the longest day of the year, Dec 21, and the Winter Solstice. In December, hope, peace, joy and love are centered week by week as Christmas approaches… which is an invitation for Christians and non alike to name what is in the dark, and turn towards something life giving… hope, peace, joy and love... and begin again. And yet, life includes a lot of fear these days… mostly of the unknown. So, in the face of this fear, naming that, pausing, and turning towards… hope peace, joy and love…. Forgiveness, and trust too. This and more we cover in this meander. I hope you enjoy this free-wheeling exploration. Please, share our work widely, give us a review or a drop us a few stars.

In our conversation today we talk about some of the deepest challenges facing the church today. Our guest is Mike Cosper, author of the new book 'The Church in Dark Times,' and he's bringing this incredible framework from the philosopher Hannah Arendt to help us understand the dynamics at play. What Cosper lays out is how the church, much like broader society, has become susceptible to the lure of ideology - these seductive stories that promise meaning and purpose, but ultimately lead us astray. He traces this back to the unbundling of identity that's happened in modernity, where we've lost those deep roots and sense of transcendence that used to anchor us. And the way Cosper unpacks Arendt's insights on the 'banality of evil' is extremely helpful. The idea that the greatest horrors can emerge not from some monstrous, radical evil, but from this hollow, empty shell of a person - that's a profoundly unsettling concept with huge implications. But Cosper doesn't just diagnose the problem. He also points us towards practices of solitude, thinking, and storytelling that can help us resist these ideological forces and recover a more rooted, transcendent vision of what it means to be the church. It's a conversation that I think will really challenge and inspire anyone who cares about the future of Christianity in our time. Mike Cosper has been creating music, radio shows, and podcasts for more than 20 years. He produced and hosted The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill podcast and is director of podcasts at Christianity Today. He now cohosts a weekly podcast called The Bulletin. Cosper also leads cohorts for church leaders and is the author of four books, including Recapturing the Wonder.

Lyndsey Stonebridge (Humans rights academic, Hannah Arendt biographer) was worried about the banality of evil she was observing in the world and so dug down into the work of controversial philosopher and political theorist Hannah Arendt for insights. Her new book, We Are Free to Change the World: Hannah Arendt's Lessons in Love and Disobedience is a guide on how to live--and think--through a moment like the one we're in now in the wake of the US election. It draws on Arendt's ideas about totalitarianism, loneliness, the dulling of the mind, capitalism, as well as the imperative to love the world. Lyndsey is a Professor of Humanities and Human Rights at the University of Birmingham in the U.K. and writes and broadcasts about a range of topical subjects: refugees, feminism and the moral mind. In 2023, she was elected a Fellow of the British Academy.

#pennsylvania #pittsburgh #1950sThis will be the livestream on this wonderful book by Annie Dillard that was originally scheduled on September 27 but postponed due to the storm. On this book lunch we take the deepest dive into Annie Dillard's 1980s masterpiece "An American Childhood". More on this livestream event, here: I chose Annie Dillard's book for two rather different reasons. One, admittedly more conventional, reason is that it is one of the great works of prose in the contemporary English language in what we used to consider a "canonical" sense. Dillard was already by this book's release in the 1980s a Pulitzer Prize winner for Pilgrim At Tinker Creek. The second reason is that during an episode of Hannah Arendt's Life Of The Mind I was cherishing Arendt's prickly and uncompromising tone and spontaneously thought of the name of Dillard as a writer whose tone I felt was different from Arendt in some important respects. Like Arendt though, Dillard is still an unusually independent minded thinker, resisting any and all ordinary categories of political, religious or philosophic affiliation while remaining steadfast in her unique spiritual convictions and practices. If there is an author to whom she is closest it is perhaps Ralph Waldo Emerson, both in the complexity and abstraction of her ideas coupled with an accessibility and relatability to a general audience. Her book is a memoir of growing up in 1950s Pennsylvania in a wealthy family - one that also happened to cherish intellectual knowledge and culture most highly. (The latter also an Arendt connection). In Dillard's words herself, it is a memoir of her "waking up to life" in the widest sense. It is also one of the most passionate accounts of bibliophililia I have ever read. it is a definitive book about books and among the thousand books I have read I know of no book with more love for the book itself within its pages. And it is this last instance that "An American Childhood" is an ideal for a book lunch. #pennsylvania #pittsburgh #1950s #1940s #1980s #spirituality #christianity #judaism #Islam #Buddhism #books #bibliophile #library #bookstore #family #pulitzerprize #leonuris #annefrank #diaryofannefrank #memoir #autobiography #creativenonfiction #poetry #feminism #nature #wilderness #city #urban #ecology #environmentalism #episcopalianism #catholicism #marktwain #comedy #humor #joke #radio #television #carnegiemellon #winter #summer #storytelling #adolescence #criticalthinking #presbyterian #andrewcarnegie #steel #railroad #spiritualism #american #unitedstates #germany #scotland #ireland #louispasteur #science #biology #virology #medicine #childhood #georgestevens #giant #jamesdean #rockhudson #elizabethtaylor #hollywood #geology #industrialrevolution #pittsburghsymphony #philadelphiaorchestra #thecainemutiny #johnhersey #hiroshima #worldwar2 #holocaust #suburbia #socialsim #baseball #softball #sports #bridgeovertheriverkwai DISCLAIMER: Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

It's funny how our lives spiral around certain themes, and while Angie is a storyteller at heart, bred in her bones also is teaching, mentoring, and supporting others, or as she calls it, being a "human-evoker.” She talks with us about the invitation she's had to move into a different role in her organization, as well as the things she's learned through all this change she's experienced this last year. As this is a meander, we also flit around ideas like grace, and hope, ritual and joy. And love. And as Angie is back in the US, the thrust and parry of being a US citizen right now, and how in the end, we are all human beings worthy of respect.As always, this being human is best supported by presence. Being present to our selves, and each other. To love and be loved. Simple. And not, too.I hope you enjoy this update as we reconnect, again, with Angie.Please, share our work widely, give us a review or a drop us a few stars.

We discuss Part IV: "The Triumph and Death of Western Marxism" with particular focus on the work of Hannah Arendt in The Origins of Totalitarianism and On Revolution. We discuss Losurdo's analysis of "recognition" from Hegel and how revolution is theorized as recognition in Marx and Engels and how subsequent liberal theories of revolution in Arendt and Nietzschean theories of Foucault promote what Losurdo sees as the "death" of Western Marxism.

It can be hard to admit, but some people are more comfortable inside prison than out. We meet people who keep coming back and people who've stopped trying to go home, and ask: Is being “OK” inside prison a failure?

Here is a stunning sentence for you, written by Lyndsey Stonebridge, our guest this hour, channeling the 20th-century political thinker and journalist Hannah Arendt: "Loneliness is the bully that coerces us into giving up on democracy." This conversation is a kind of guide to generative shared deliberations we might be having with each other and ourselves in this intensely fraught global political moment: on the human underlay that gives democracy its vigor or threatens to undo it; on the difference between facts and truth — and on the difference between violence and power. Krista interviewed Lyndsey once before, in 2017, after Hannah Arendt's classic work, The Origins of Totalitarianism, had become a belated runaway bestseller. Now Lyndsey has published her own wonderful book offering her and Arendt's full prescient wisdom for this time. What emerges is elevating and exhilaratingly thoughtful — while also brimming with helpful, practicable words and ideas. We have, in Lyndsey's phrase, "un-homed" ourselves. And yet we are always defined by our capacity to give birth to something new — and so to partake again and again in the deepest meaning of freedom.Hannah Arendt's other epic books include The Human Condition, and Eichmann in Jerusalem, in which she famously coined the phrase "the banality of evil." She was born a German Jew in 1906, fled Nazi Germany and spent many years as a stateless person, and died an American citizen in 1975. This conversation with Lyndsey Stonebridge happened in January 2024, as part of a gathering of visionaries, activists, and creatives across many fields. Krista interviewed her alongside Lucas Johnson, a former leader of the International Fellowship of Reconciliation who now leads our social healing initiatives at The On Being Project.Lyndsey Stonebridge is a Professor of Humanities and Human Rights at the University of Birmingham in the U.K. Her 2024 book is We Are Free to Change the World: Hannah Arendt's Lessons in Love and Disobedience. Her other books include Placeless People: Writings, Rights, and Refugees. In 2023, she was elected a Fellow of the British Academy.Lucas Johnson is Executive Vice President of Public Life & Social Healing at The On Being Project. He was previously a leader of the International Fellowship of Reconciliation, the world's oldest interfaith peace organization.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.______Sign up for The Pause — a Saturday morning companion newsletter to the On Being podcast season, and news and invitations all year round.
